Li Li, who turned to 26 years old on September 3, 2018, is already among the oldest pandas in the world. It has a legendary experience. For example, it spent several years to visit South Korea, and it almost came to see its ancestor due to its severe illness. But thanks to the meticulous care of the veterinarians and panda keepers, it survived. Afterwards, it bred Wen Li, Ya Li, Ai Li, and Oreo.

Early in the morning, the torrential rain didn't stop fans of Li Li from celebrating its 26th birthday at the Chengdu Zoo. The zoo provided some materials such as watermelons, carrots, apples and panda cakes to help panda fans to prepare snack cakes for Li Li. After the necessary cleaning, panda fans wore gloves and masks and threw themselves into making snack cakes.
