Two irresistibly cute panda cubs have melted viewers' hearts after high-definition videos captured their playful and peaceful moments at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The first clip, recorded on June 18, spotlights Qingyang, a female panda, peacefully sleeping in the gentle sunlight. The high-resolution footage is so detailed that even her delicate eyelashes are clearly visible, highlighting her serene and contented expression.
The second video from March 7 features Xinqiao, a tiny male cub. Still carrying bits of grass on his ears from playing, Xinqiao glances curiously at the camera before resuming his exploration.
Both pandas were born at the center between August and September 2024.
The CCRCGP is a world-renowned center for the ex-situ conservation of giant pandas. It also serves as a hub for scientific research, public education and eco-tourism. The institution is internationally recognized for its efforts to protect and breed giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wildlife species native to China.
The center has also established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges, involving 18 zoos from 16 countries and regions, 39 domestic animal breeding institutions, and more than 10 scientific research institutes.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Friday chaired a State Council executive meeting which mulled measures to boost consumption by accelerating the formation of new growth points in service consumption.
The meeting called for continued efforts to boost consumption by fully leveraging the integrated effects of different policies, linking improvement in people's wellbeing to consumption growth, and giving full play to the fundamental role of consumption in driving economic growth.
The meeting emphasized the importance of accelerating the cultivation of new growth points in service consumption, supporting new business forms, models, and scenarios, and increasing the supply of high-quality services.
Efforts should be made to improve the long-term mechanism for promoting consumption by formulating and implementing plans aimed at expanding consumption during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), increasing the income of urban and rural residents, speeding up the removal of unreasonable restrictive measures for consumption, and implementing the paid leave system. These measures are intended to boost people's consumption capacity and willingness to spend, promote the upgrading of consumption and industrial structures, and accelerate the building of a strong domestic market.
The meeting also made arrangements for actions to clear overdue payments to enterprises and ensure the issue of wage arrears for migrant workers is properly addressed. The meeting also deliberated and adopted a draft decision of the State Council on revising and abolishing some administrative regulations.
