Born

Ying Bang and Tao Bang were the first pair of female giant panda twins born at Adventure World. As they grew, their differences became more obvious: the park described Ying Bang as quiet and inclined to move at her own pace, with larger ears and a rounder face. Her name draws on Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms and carries a wish that she bring love and happiness. In 2023, she returned to China with Tao Bang and their father, Yong Ming.
