He Qi and He Mei were born in August 12, 2011, whose mother was Cheng Gong. On September 24, 2015, they came to the Guizhou Forest Wildlife Zoo from Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Since then they have lived here for almost 3 years. Now please follow me to to visit He Qi and He Mei in Guizhou Forest Wildlife Zoo.

Compared with Chengdu, the weather in Guizhou is very cool. The zoo is very big without many tourists, which is quiet and suitable for giant pandas. At Panda House, He Qi and He Mei are already playing outside in the playground.

According to the panda keeper, after 8 o’clock every day, he will let He Qi and He Mei go out to the playground. He Qi likes to climb up to the wooden frame to play and eat as soon as she comes out, and she likes to have a rest on the wooden frame when she feel tired. However He Mei likes to walk around in the playground, and then she will climb up to the wooden frame to eat and have a rest. It seems that He Mei is more active, but in fact, their personality is just the opposite. He Qi is more active, for she always take the initiative to provoke He Mei. By contrast, He Mei is more calm and quiet.

Bamboos eaten by the two pandas come from the surrounding mountains, most of which are pleioblastuses and indocalamuses. In May and June, the two pandas mainly eat bamboo shoots, and the panda keeper will feed them panda bread at 11 a.m. , 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. respectively everyday.

The keeper also says, He Qi and He Mei get along very well with each other. They often share bamboos and panda bread with each other, and they will sleep together in each other’s arms! Their cleverness and obedience make their keepers free from worry about them. They enjoy a good life, nice food and physical heath here.
