Giant panda Bing Hua celebrated her ninth birthday at the Shenyang Forest Zoological Garden in northeast China's Liaoning Province on Wednesday, receiving a dozen gifts from its caregivers, including toys, flowers and even a surprise feast.

The cute panda, female, was born on Aug 9, 2014 at the Ya'an Bifeng Gorge base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in southwest China's Sichuan Province. It has been Bing Hua's sixth year here in Shenyang.

Keepers said that they have prepared a lot of presents for the birthday party, which Bing Hua likes a lot.

"There are a lot of birthday gifts, such as some duck toys, kiddie rides and boats. It is a flower themed party this time for Bing Hua's birthday celebration. We've decorated the scene with flowers. We've made flower baskets with lots of colorful flowers and leaves, with bamboo shoots inserted within," said Wang Yi, director of the panda house at the zoo.

In addition to the fancy decorations, a big meal was also waiting for Bing Hua.

"We've also prepared a little food cart with a fruit platter covered in smoothies and other Bing Hua's favorite treats. In addition, a cake is a must for a birthday. Bing Hua's cake is an ice cake, which is made of different shapes of ice frozen with water and covered with Binghua's favorite fruits," Wang said.
