Born: June 30, 2014

Xingyuan was born at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding on June 30, 2014, with his older twin sister Xingyu. While Xingyu is easy to recognize by the small dark spot beside her nose, Xingyuan has noticeably darker fur on his belly, a feature that has remained one of the easiest ways to tell the twins apart. In 2018, Xingyuan went to Quanzhou with Xingyu for giant panda public education.
