Born July 1, 2010
Da Li is a male giant panda born on 2010-07-01 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. He is registered as studbook number 790 in the global giant panda studbook system, and remains alive as of 2024. He is the offspring of Pan Pan and Ya Ya. Pan Pan was a well-documented male giant panda long housed at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, while Ya Ya is a female giant panda also part of the base’s captive breeding population. Currently living at Beijing Zoo, he participates in the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Program, a national initiative to maintain sustainable captive giant panda populations and support public education about endangered species. He is one of the most frequently visited resident animals at the zoo. As a captive-born giant panda, Da Li displays typical foraging and resting behaviors, spending up to 12 hours daily feeding on bamboo. He draws consistent public attention from domestic and international tourists, serving as a flagship animal for advancing public understanding of giant panda conservation. His placement in a major urban zoo supports outreach efforts that promote habitat protection for wild giant panda populations in the Qinling and Minshan Mountains.

Short version
Da Li is a male giant panda born on 2010-07-01 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. He is registered as studbook number 790 in the global giant panda studbook system, and remains alive as of 2024. He is the offspring of Pan Pan and Ya Ya. Pan Pan was a well-documented male giant panda long housed at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, while Ya Ya is a female giant panda also part of the base’s captive breeding population. Currently living at Beijing Zoo, he participates in the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Program, a national initiative to maintain sustainable captive giant panda populations and support public education about endangered species. He is one of the most frequently visited resident animals at the zoo. As a captive-born giant panda, Da Li displays typical foraging and resting behaviors, spending up to 12 hours daily feeding on bamboo. He draws consistent public attention from domestic and international tourists, serving as a flagship animal for advancing public understanding of giant panda conservation. His placement in a major urban zoo supports outreach efforts that promote habitat protection for wild giant panda populations in the Qinling and Minshan Mountains.
Da Li is a male giant panda born on July 1, 2010, at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, with the global giant panda studbook registration number 790. He is the offspring of Pan Pan, a well-documented male giant panda that was a long-term resident of the Chengdu Research Base, and Ya Ya, a female giant panda part of the base’s captive breeding population. As a descendant of two prominent members of the base’s breeding program, his lineage contributes valuable genetic diversity to the global captive giant panda population, a key priority for species conservation efforts. He was transferred to Beijing Zoo on his first birthday, July 1, 2011, and has remained a resident of the zoo as of 2024.
As a participant in the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Program, a national initiative focused on maintaining sustainable captive giant panda populations and supporting endangered species public education, Da Li plays multiple roles in conservation practice. Care teams at Beijing Zoo monitor his daily behavior to support research on captive panda health and welfare, and he exhibits typical species-specific traits, including spending up to 12 hours each day foraging on bamboo. He is consistently one of the most frequently visited animal residents at Beijing Zoo, drawing attention from both domestic and international visitors throughout the year.
His placement in a high-traffic urban zoo makes him a prominent flagship species for giant panda conservation outreach. Public engagement with Da Li supports education efforts that raise awareness of the threats facing wild giant panda populations, including habitat loss and fragmentation in their native ranges in the Qinling and Minshan Mountains of southwest China. His public profile also helps drive public support for targeted habitat protection initiatives and community-based conservation programs designed to support long-term coexistence between wild pandas and human populations in their natural range.

Chengdu's Fan Economy: How One Panda Fuels an Entire City's Tourism
Hua Hua's celebrity has transformed the Chengdu Research Base from a conservation facility into one of China's most popular tourist destinations. This article examines the 'panda fan economy' — how a single charismatic animal drives millions in ticket sales, hotel bookings, merchandise revenue, and social media engagement, and what this phenomenon reveals about the economic power of animal celebrity.

A Rare Infection, A Sudden Death: The Chlamydia Case at Chimelong
In May 2026, Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park confirmed that Jia He (家和, studbook #972), a 10-year-old male giant panda, died from heart failure caused by a pulmonary chlamydia infection — a diagnosis so unusual that it may be the first documented fatal chlamydia case in a giant panda worldwide. This article examines the clinical timeline, the microbiology behind the infection, the investigation into possible transmission sources, and the broader implications for captive panda health management at one of China's largest panda facilities.

Dujiangyan: The World's Only Panda Nursing Home
Tucked into the forested foothills outside Chengdu, the Dujiangyan Giant Panda Rescue and Disease Control Center is unlike any other panda facility in the world. It is not a breeding center. It is not a tourist attraction. It is a hospital and a retirement home — the place where aging pandas, retired breeders, and returning overseas celebrities spend their final years in quiet, forested enclosures with specialized geriatric care. Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, Bai Yun, and Pan Pan all ended their journeys here. This is the story of the world's only panda nursing home.
