Excitement reached its peak when Menglan appeared, with cheers erupting from the crowd. On this day, Xianguan News reported that Menglan warmly greeted the eagerly awaiting visitors, shaking its head side to side in response.

Menglan delighted the audience by splashing water with its front paws while relaxing in the pool and exercising using the play equipment. The panda was also seen sitting quietly and munching on bamboo. The venue was constantly filled with laughter and the sound of camera shutters.

Menglan is a superstar panda who previously made headlines for multiple escape attempts. With a cheerful and intelligent personality, Menglan has earned the nickname "the Third Prince of Xizhimen" and is beloved by many. According to reports, a total of seven pandas, including Menglan, Fuxing, Baiten, and Fujiang, have settled into the new habitat.

Beijing Zoo recently completed the panda enclosure with a design focused on animal welfare, advanced science education, and low-carbon environmental protection. The facility includes four indoor exhibition halls, five animal enclosures, and five outdoor exercise areas. After over a year of construction, the pandas are reportedly acclimating to their new home.

Muningning, Vice Director of Beijing Zoo, explained that artificial rocks and other features were installed in the enclosure to create rest areas and reduce the pandas' stress levels. By reproducing the natural environment of their wild habitats, the enclosure allows the pandas to experience an authentic mountain atmosphere. Streams have been created to allow them to cool off and play in the water during summer. Considering their preference for climbing, platforms have been installed on trees for the pandas to climb as well.
