The world’s only brown panda Qi Zai enjoyed a unique Mid-Autumn treat at a panda research centre in northern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province on September 28.

In the Qinling Panda Research Centre, the staff prepared an extraordinary and exclusive Mid-Autumn feast for Qi Zai.

To add a sense of festivity and tradition, the caretakers artistically used carrots to spell out the Chinese characters for "Mid-Autumn". Embracing the spirit of the festival, they crafted special Chinese cornbread mooncakes using corn flour, soybean flour, and wheat flour, pressed meticulously into specialised moulds.

The caretakers infused an element of joy and play by stuffing bamboo balls with bamboo leaves and Qi Zai's favourite carrot chunks, allowing the unique panda to feast while also indulging in play.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night.

9月28日，陕西省西安市周至县，中秋佳节来临前夕，秦岭大熊猫研究中心的工作人员，为全球唯一一只圈养棕色大熊猫“七仔”准备了专属的中秋大餐。为了增加仪式感，保育员用胡萝卜摆出了“中秋”两个字。并且以玉米粉、黄豆粉、面粉为原料，在专用模具里压制而成了“窝窝头月饼”。另外在空竹球里，保育员塞进竹叶和“七仔”最爱吃的胡萝卜块，让“七仔”能吃也能玩。面对中秋大餐，“七仔”毫不客气地一扫而空。
