Panda triplets receive birthday gifts in Guangzhou

The world's only giant panda triplets, born at the Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, celebrated their ninth birthday over the weekend, with specially-made cakes to help them stay away from the summer heat.

The giant pandas, named Meng Meng, Shuaishuai and Kuku, also received special gifts – a princess boudoir, a Cantonese-style dragon boat and a remote-controlled train, respectively.

Dozens of giant pandas have been born at the park, which hosts a giant panda festival to help visitors to learn how to protect the animals.
