In China, families make a pilgrimage to the panda parks.
At the same time, the panda has become China's most cuddly and soft diplomat - countless pandas are deployed around the world, lent to various zoos.
Although it is rare to have a panda encounter in the wild, it is happening more and more often now that the tribe has become larger.
There are close to two thousand giant pandas in the open, mainly in southwest China.
According to the forester Shang Tao, seeing a wild panda is something absolutely fantastic.
-You have dreamed day and night of seeing one, as if it were a girl you like, and then it suddenly stands in front of you!
The giant panda in the wild is closely monitored with cameras and drones.
