lol and wow
<p>They are not so popular in China. However, a lot of pandas are born in Japan, where they are named with the character 浜. It's probably due to the name of the Shirahama zoo (<a href="https://www.aws-s.com/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Adventure World</a>, 白浜野生动物园, アドベンチャーワールド) where they are born.</p>

They are not so popular in China. However, a lot of pandas are born in Japan, where they are named with the character 浜. It's probably due to the name of the Shirahama zoo ([Adventure World](https://www.aws-s.com/en/), 白浜野生动物园, アドベンチャーワールド) where they are born.
