Write a description of an iconic animal in China. Bing Dwen Dwen —— The official mascot of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games
The panda is named “Bing Dwen Dwen” in Chinese. Bing means “ice” in Chinese, while Dwen Dwen suggests “health and ingenuity” — characteristics also shared by pandas.
冰：象征纯洁、坚强，是冬奥会的特点；墩墩：意喻敦厚、敦实、可爱，契合熊猫的整体形象，象征着冬奥会运动员强壮有力的身体、坚韧不拔的意志和鼓舞人心的奥林匹克精神。
The halo surrounding the mascot’s face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks, as well as the flowing “ribbons” on the exterior of the National Speed Skating Oval. The oval is one of two new competition venues in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games.

The most iconic animal of China by far is the panda. In fact, many people would say that the panda is a symbol of China. These cuddly creatures with their black and white markings almost look more like stuffed toys than real animals. Nearly everyone sees pandas as cute.
This feeling is enhanced by the way the animals clumsily move about, which is sometimes humorous and cartoon-like. However, pandas are not toys – they are in fact live animals.
The live mostly in remote nature reserves in Sichuan, China. Most people don’t realise that pandas – like all bears – are technically carnivores, and long ago perhaps they mostly ate meat.
However, while pandas today can and do eat almost anything, their preferred food in their wild forest habitat is bamboo. As this food does not give them much nutrition, they have to eat almost constantly, and unlike most bears they do not hibernate in the winter. Pandas are generally quite shy and are seldom seen by people in the wild.
Despite this, they have been known to attack people. while this is a very rare occurrence, it is a useful reminder that pandas are not cuddly toys but are wild animals and should not be approached in the wild. Until recently, pandas were considered endangered. However, with successful breeding and conservation programmes, their numbers have increased, and they are no longer on the endangered species list. Having said that, they are still considered vulnerable, and so more work is needed to protect this magnificent animal.
