Japanese fans cheer at meeting giant panda Xiang Xiang virtually

During the day, the keepers feed Xiang Xiang 30 kilograms of bamboo, 400 grams of apples, about 1,000 grams of steamed buns, and 3,000 grams of bamboo shoots, adjusting the feeding based on her eating situation.

Zhao said to the Japanese panda enthusiasts, "Xiang Xiang now enjoys the environment of her hometown and has adapted to the feeding management system here. She is doing very well. We welcome everyone to come to China to visit her when they have time."

Under the care and protection of various circles in China and Japan, Xiang Xiang has grown up healthily and has always been loved by the Japanese people, said Wu Hailong, president of the China Public Diplomacy Association.

Together with other pandas in Japan, Xiang Xiang has brought laughter and joy to the Japanese people, leaving behind beautiful and unforgettable memories, and has made unique contributions to enhancing the friendly feelings between the Chinese and Japanese peoples, becoming a bond of friendship between the two countries, Wu said.

"Although Xiang Xiang has returned to China, many Japanese people have been missing and yearning for her. Therefore, we organized this online meeting between Xiang Xiang and the Japanese people, allowing her fans to once again witness her appearance and her life in China.

"We also welcome the Japanese people to come to China to visit Xiang Xiang and her companions, hoping that they can continue to bring more joy and friendship to the peoples of China and Japan," Wu said.
