Taipei (ECNS) -- A public naming campaign was launched Sunday for the first panda cub born in Taiwan.

A "baby shower" was also held for the female cub, which was born a month ago at Taipei Zoo. Hundreds of children accompanied by their parents attended the party, where guests were invited to experience what it is like to feed a panda cub in an incubator.

The cub was delivered on July 6 following a series of artificial inseminations. Her parents, known as Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, had failed to conceive naturally.

The zoo said the cub had grown to more than six times her original weight when she was delivered.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were given to Taiwan by the mainland in December 2008, and have become star attractions at Taipei Zoo.
