Seac Pai Van Park’s beloved giant pandas “Jian Jian” and “Kang Kang” will be celebrating their 10th birthday with the public in a special party set to be held at the park’s Macao Giant Panda Pavilion on 26 June, according to the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM).
The party aims to deepen the public’s understanding of giant panda conservation.
During the pandas’ birthday party, their keepers will present them with a specially made birthday cake.
Several dozens of 10-year-old students have been invited, together with their teachers and parents, to send their heartfelt birthday wishes to the giant pandas.
In addition, from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm on the day, a beautiful giant panda-themed photo spot will be set up in the open space opposite the Macao Giant Panda Pavilion, alongside a variety of fun game booths and themed workshops.
The event and all its activities are free of charge for the public to participate in.
Another highlight in this special event to be held at the same venue will be the award presentation ceremony for the winners of the birthday card design competition held in celebration of Jian Jian’s and Kang Kang’s 10th birthday.
To encourage the school children across Macau to unleash their creativity by using paintbrushes to convey their heartfelt wishes to the giant pandas, IAM organised the competition earlier and nine outstanding winning entries were selected from over 1,100 entries, which will also be displayed at the award presentation ceremony to showcase the children’s artistic talent and their love for the giant pandas.
The 10th birthday party of the giant pandas Jian Jian and Kang Kang and the award presentation ceremony for the birthday card design competition will be broadcast live via the China Central Television (CCTV) iPanda platform (www.ipanda.com), sharing the joy with giant panda enthusiasts around the world.
