Giant pandas to pass on China-Spain friendship to future generations
Chinese President Xi Jinping compared giant pandas to lovely “envoys” in his signed article titled Joining Hands for New Splendor in the New Era published on Spanish mainstream media this Tuesday, remarking that they would continue to pass on the China-Spain friendship to future generations.
Giant pandas are the most popular animals at the Madrid Zoo Aquarium. Plenty of visitors come early to see these lovely creatures when the zoo just open in the morning.

The panda enclosure at the
Spanish zoo is built in Chinese architectural style. Stories and information
about giant pandas are posted in a corridor of the enclosure, and the enclosure
also offers classes on giant pandas to visitors.

Zui Ba from China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding arrived at
the zoo in Sept. 2007 according to a 10-year agreement on panda research
between China and Spain.
Four giant panda cubs were born
during the couple’s 10-year stay at the Madrid Zoo Aquarium. At present, Bing
Xing and Hua Zui Ba are living with their youngest daughter Chulina born in Aug. 2016.

The beautiful panda enclosure is
an attraction for local visitors. An elementary school teacher surnamed Imagulado
who took 59 students on her class to see the pandas, told People’s Daily that every year her school would take the students
here to watch the pandas and receive on-site education of animal protection.
“Spanish students nowadays are
having more and more interests in Chinese culture, and some of my students are
learning Chinese and Chinese culture during their off hours,” she said.
The teacher believes that
President Xi’s visit to Spain will further promote cultural exchanges between
the two countries.
