2009/03/14. CCRCGP held a "Thanks Ceremony" in Shanghai at theeeeeee Shanghai Wildlife zoo, to say thank you for their support during Wolongs darkest hour on May 12th 2009. The Ceremony included gifts to Shanghai Wildlife Zoo of water and soil from Wolong, a scroll print of the 13 cubs born in 2008 at Bifengxia along with paw prints of the cubs.

Whilst Shanghai did not foster any additional pandas after the quake they did give them support in other ways.

At the Ceremony 4 Shanghai citizens were given "Love Citizens" certificates for their help and support to Wolong's pandas.

When "Thanks Tourism around China" was launched Wolong gave the people of Shanghai the privilege to name one of the pandas born at Bifengxia in 2008. The name they choose was "Hu Bao" meaning Shanghai baby.
