CHONGQING (CQNEWS) – Have you ever seen a giant panda eating a hot pot? Last weekend, the four “online celebrities” in Chongqing Zoo broadcasted a live show of taking a Chongqing specialty, “trellis hot pot”. It’s extremely amusing!

The feeders carried the exquisite “trellis hot pot” made of bamboo into the living quarters of the four pandas: Shuang Shuang, Chong Chong, Xi Xi, and Qing Qing at 9:30 in the morning. The “hot pot” contains lots of apples, watermelons, bamboo shoots, etc. that pandas love to eat. You could see the envious look in the eyes of Liang Yue and Yu Bei, the pandas living near the four pandas.

After the food was ready, Shuang Shuang, Chong Chong, Xi Xi, and Qing Qing slowly walked out of their rooms and started to share the “trellis hot pot” meticulously prepared by the feeders.

“They will not eat up all the ‘cutlery’, will they?”

When the netizens were discussing in the broadcast chat room what the pandas would take first, they saw Xi Xi pick up the chopsticks and take a bite of them.

Then Shuang Shuang bent his head and bit into the “hot pot”.

A moment later, Chong Chong climbed up on the table to choose something delicious, inhibiting Shuang Shuang’s dining. Shuang Shuang raised its hands to start a fight with Chong Chong. Luckily, the charm of food stopped them from fighting with each other.

“They are eating the 'real pot’.”

“They don’t carry the pot. They just eat it.”

“Your sauce fell on the floor!”

The netizens were happy to see the lovely pandas eat “hot pot” in the broadcast chat room, and the zoo also rang with cheers and laughter. What should they do after finishing the apples and bamboo? The four lovely pandas told us with action: eat up everything!

The four pandas, Shuang Shuang, Chong Chong, Xi Xi, and Qing Qing, are two pairs of twins born in Chongqing Zoo. An amusing picture of them sitting around a table once went viral online. Since then, they have been known as “four braised pork balls in gravy sauce (Si Xi Wan Zi)”.

“Shuang Shuang is the largest; Chong Chong’s ‘shoulder strap’ is not properly fastened; Xi Xi has got the widest mouth; Qing Qing is the smallest.” A tourist taught others how to distinguish the four pandas. She has observed the differences between the four pandas for quite a long time.

Most tourists came to the zoo very early to find a good place to view the four pandas.

After taking the hot pot for over one hour, Shuang Shuang, Xi Xi, and Qing Qing took a rest separately. Chong Chong was the last one to finish the meal and became the best gobbler for the day. (Translated by Yuki, Fathom Language Limited)
