In their first year alone, Zoo Negara saw a 60% rise in visitors, with over 1.2 million people eager to see the pandas munching on bamboo or tumbling around their enclosure.

When giant pandas Fu Wa and Feng Yi arrived in Malaysia in 2014, they immediately melted hearts and became successful icons of friendship between Malaysia and China.

More than a decade later, they continue to win hearts with their playful nature and gentle charm.
