Sure, here is an article about the new Panda Bus in Guangzhou.
Adorable Panda Bus Brings Science and Smiles to Guangzhou Streets
In a vibrant celebration of sports and nature, Guangzhou has launched an adorable Panda Bus, transforming public transport into a moving science museum to welcome the 15th National Games .
Themed around the "National Treasures Welcoming the National Games," this initiative ingeniously blends the appeal of China's iconic animal with sportsmanship and ecological education, adding a festive atmosphere to the city's streets .
A Mobile Panda Science Museum
The bus is more than just a pretty face; it's designed as an interactive "mobile panda science museum" . Stepping inside, passengers find themselves immersed in a world of discovery:
Interactive Learning: By scanning QR codes on the windows, passengers can listen to the authentic sounds of giant pandas and their animal neighbors in the zoo, accompanied by illustrated introductions .
Live Footage: Electronic screens inside the bus loop playful moments of the pandas, including footage of "Jiu Jiu" and "You You" in their new home, as well as "Ya Yi" and "Xing Yi" munching on bamboo and climbing trees .
Fun Facts: The bus partitions are decorated with educational posters titled "大熊猫知多D" (Know More About Giant Pandas), which share interesting knowledge about the panda's "energy-saving mode" and vegetarian lifestyle .
A Cheer Squad on Wheels
The bus itself is a visual delight. Its body is painted in bright pink and green, creating a fresh and lively aesthetic that captures the eye . The design features Guangzhou Zoo's "top stars"—the pandas "Ya Yi," "Xing Yi," and the newly-arrived twin brothers "Jiu Jiu" and "You You" .
These four pandas form a "cheer squad for the National Games" . They are depicted in various playful poses—sitting with bamboo, climbing, or frolicking—with design elements that cleverly incorporate sports like table tennis and badminton . The presence of "Jiu Jiu" and "You You" is particularly symbolic. Born in Madrid, Spain, their names embody the beautiful wish for "eternal friendship between China and Spain," and they now serve as "ambassadors of the National Games" in Guangzhou .
Blending Travel with Education
The Panda Bus is part of a growing "bus + research tour" model promoted by the operator, Guangzhou's No. 1 Bus Company, in partnership with Guangzhou Zoo . It aims to make every journey a learning experience.
On its launch day, the bus hosted a " Giant Panda Fun Science Parent-Child Research Tour," where families boarded the bus and then visited the new panda enclosure at the zoo for a unique scientific discovery journey . One participating parent noted, "Such a research tour is both interesting and meaningful. The child had fun and learned solidly" .
Themed buses are not entirely new for Guangzhou; earlier in 2025, the city launched an "Animal Theme Bus" on the same routes, featuring animal sound QR codes and special kid-narrated station announcements, which was warmly received by the public .
Experience the Panda Bus
The two Panda Buses are currently operating on Route 6 and Route 78, both of which pass by Guangzhou Zoo . Route 6 holds historical significance as the first bus line to directly serve the zoo back in 1958 .
Beyond regular service, the buses are also available for group customizations, such as "All Games Science Tours" and "Ecology Science Cruises," truly making "travel a classroom" . For those who want to take a piece of this cuteness home, the bus company plans to launch "Panda Bus" model cars and other themed cultural and creative products in November .
This charming initiative not only brightens the daily commute but also showcases Guangzhou's innovative spirit in promoting green travel, ecological awareness, and civic pride ahead of the upcoming National Games .
