Short version
Mei Ling (美灵, studbook #589) is a female giant panda born September 1, 2004 at the Wolong CCRCGP. Daughter of Ling Ling and Hua Mei, she is the twin sister of Tuan Tuan — the famous panda gifted to Taiwan. She lives at Beijing Zoo.
Mei Ling (Chinese: 美灵), studbook number 589, is a female giant panda born on September 1, 2004 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan. She is the twin sister of Tuan Tuan (团团, studbook 588) and the first offspring of Hua Mei (华美, studbook 487) — the first overseas-born giant panda to return to China. Her father is Ling Ling (灵灵, studbook 424).
Mei Ling spent her early months at the Wolong center alongside her brother Tuan Tuan. The twins were the first cubs of Hua Mei after her return from San Diego Zoo.
Mei Ling was transferred to Beijing Zoo, where she has resided as one of the zoo’s most popular attractions. Beijing Zoo has housed giant pandas since the 1950s and is one of the oldest panda facilities in China.
