River Wonders Celebrates Le Le's First Birthday With A Panda-stic Party

21 Jul 2022
Le Le, the first Giant Panda cub to be born in Singapore, is turning one this August and River Wonders is marking this milestone with a month-long Panda-stic Party that continues into his parents’ Kai Kai and Jia Jia’s birthday month in September. Born on 14 August last year, Le Le has made a remarkable transformation from a 200-gram mostly hairless and helpless infant, into an almost 30kg furry and feisty bundle of energy.

Singapore-born Giant Panda cub Le Le turns one in August, and River Wonders is celebrating his milestone with a month-long Panda-stic Party. From 5 August to 11 September 2022, enrich your River Wonders adventure with an array of panda-themed activities. Don’t forget to catch Le Le bonding with mom Jia Jia or effortlessly scaling trees when you visit!
