Yes, Chengdu is home to several celebrity pandas, most notably He Hua (commonly known as Hua Hua), who has become a global social media sensation. Currently residing at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Hua Hua is easily distinguished by her short, round, and fluffy appearance, often described as resembling a triangular rice ball or onigiri. She is famous for her gentle, laid-back personality and her tendency to let other pandas take her food without getting upset. Her popularity is so immense that she served as a "guest" for the 2024 Spring Festival Gala and was named an honorary director for the Chengdu Culture and Tourism Bureau. Other famous residents at the Chengdu base include her twin sister He Ye, the "clingy" starlet Qi Yi—known for a viral video of her holding onto a keeper's leg—and Xiao Qi Ji, who recently returned to Chengdu from the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. These celebrity pandas have significantly boosted local tourism, often drawing crowds that wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of them.
