With the arrival of summer vacation next week, many parents and kids are looking for ways to spend the busy summer. On Thursday, July 6, Taipei Zoo will be organizing a birthday party for the giant panda Yuan Zai at the first floor of the Giant Panda House!
On the day of the event, the public is invited to join the giant panda in celebrating her birthday by writing their well wishes and accompany the bear as she munches down her birthday cake. Participants will also have the chance to bring back the “Yuan Zai’s 4-year-old Birthday Bookplate” as a souvenir!
The resident panda of Taipei Zoo was born on July 6, 2013. That was also the first day of Taipei Zoo’s night hours during the summer. Over the years, visitors remember the cute panda bear for her actions such as lunging to catch an apple, imitating the moves from Kung Fu Panda, and falling asleep after exercising.
According to the zoo, Yuan Zai combines the characteristics of her parents and serves as an important “spokes-panda” for wildlife conservation. Taipei Zoo hopes that the public will transform their adoration for the panda into awareness and support for conservation of Taiwan’s indigenous animals.
