On April 4, Lewis Hamilton, a 3-time Formula One (F1) World Champion visited the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding before the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix took place in Shanghai.

Mr. Hamilton came to the city for a Sino-UK cultural exchange event and the giant panda, which he has been wishing to see since his childhood.

"To see the giant panda in its hometown has been my dream since I was a little boy. I am an animal aficionado and the giant panda is my favorite. They are so cute and look so soft. I felt so amazed and lucky when I saw the real pandas," he said with a smile.

During his stay at the base, Mr. Hamilton saw a few pandas playing outdoors and took a close look at the newborn pandas in the panda delivery room. He also watched a video about the endangered species and learned to pronounce the Chinese word of the giant panda "Daxiongmao."
