To mark the occasion, keepers prepared three handmade gifts: a solid-wood guitar, an intricate mosaic portrait, and a knitted plush toy. The culinary highlight of the day was a custom-made birthday cake filled with fresh fruits and vegetables alongside chilled ingredients.

Keepers also took the opportunity to share insights into Miaoyin's life journey and daily care, educating the public on the importance of giant panda conservation and environmental enrichment.
