Male panda Jiao Qing celebrates 8th birthday at Berlin Zoo

On Sunday, an article titled "Happy Birthday Jiao Qing!" was post in the "panda blog" column of the official website of the zoo, saying this was a "panda crazy week".

A survey showed the panda pair has become the main reason for the rise in tourists over the past year. Zoo and Tierpark Director Andreas Knieriem told chinanews.com he expected the pandas would continue to attract more visitors.

Jiao Qing and Meng Meng are the only pair of pandas in Germany.
