Panda twins celebrate 3rd birthday in southwest China's Chongqing

Chongqing Zoo in China's southwest celebrated the third birthday of a pair of twin giant pandas this week.

The twins, named Yu Ke, the brother, and Yu Ai, the sister, were born on July 22, 2022.

A special birthday party was designed to help them stay cool in the region's summer heat, with frozen fruit cake sculptures, bamboo ice treats, and chilled play areas.

While Yu Ai was resting in a non-exhibition zone due to a mild eye condition, Chongqing Zoo officials stated that both pandas are thriving, thriving, healthy, and remain popular attractions.
