Tian Bao (天宝/Tianbao)’s adventurous spirit shines through in her love for tree climbing, especially on those wobbly, thin branches where she seems to forget her own weight. As a young cub, she often had her worried mother, Yao Man, gently guiding her down from precarious heights. Now, in Bifengxia, Tian Bao still enjoys daily strolls and tree climbs, sharing quiet moments with her neighbor, Tian Tian. She’s a playful panda with a heart full of curiosity.

Life Experience of Panda Tian Bao
Tree Climbing Enthusiast: Tian Bao loved climbing trees when he was younger, especially enjoying the challenge of thin branches. He didn’t have a clear sense of his own weight, which made his mother, Yao Man, worry a lot. There was a time when Yao Man would stay underneath the tree and catch him if he climbed too high, gently bringing him back down.
Life at Bifengxia: In 2022, Tian Bao moved to Bifengxia. Due to limited space, he currently lives in a non-exhibit area next to Tian Tian (甜甜), who returned from the UK. Every day, Tian Bao enjoys strolling and climbing trees, often communicating with Tian Tian.
