Two of the eight pandas, named Long Sheng and Qing Feng, were born in 2000 and 2007 respectively. The other six pandas were born in 2017.
The panda garden was built to provide a good living environment for the eight animals, including a panda house, a panda hospital, a feed processing room, a tourist service center, a science museum, and other supporting projects. Sixteen professional keepers take care of the pandas.
With the average annual temperature ranging from 12.6 to 16.7 degrees Celsius, Fenghuang County boasts more than 3,333 hectares of bamboo forest, providing a good habitat for giant pandas.
