Lin Hui's mother is Tang Tang and her father is Pan Pan.[1][2]

The pandas arrived at Chiang Mai Zoo on 12 October 2003 to begin a 10-year conservation program to breed giant pandas.[1][3] It is said that these pandas love somersaulting, too, in quite a cute way.[4]

Chuang Chuang and Linhui successfully artificially bred and produced an offspring named Lin Ping.[5][6] The baby panda Lin Ping, female born on 27 May 2009 also resides in the same zoo, Chiang Mai Zoo.[7][8]
