US first lady Melania Trump, right, walks along the Mutianyu Great Wall section in Beijing, China, Friday, Nov. 10, 2017. Fewer than 2,000 giant pandas live in the wild in China.
US First Lady Melania Trump poses for photos with Chinese children holding flags and the bald eagle dolls near the panda enclosure at a zoo in Beijing, China.
It wouldn't be the first time Trump has used her clothing choices to send messages of diplomacy: Back in April, she welcomed the Presidential couple to American soil in a fire-engine red Valentino midi dress, with the color thought to be a nod to its meaning in Chinese culture for good luck and celebration.
The first lady met another panda, Gu Gu, behind the scenes, according to the zoo's director, Li Xiaoguang.
She rode a cable auto to a watchtower, signed a guestbook and strolled along a stretch of the wall for about half an hour with a small group of aides and security officers, according to the Associated Press. She received a scroll as a gift before leaving China for Alaska, where she will greet troops.
Earlier Friday, the Slovenian immigrant and former fashion model went to the Beijing zoo to check out a very important panda. POTUS traveled to Vietnam, where he will attend meetings for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.
The pair have already visited Japan and South Korea, and arrived in China on Wednesday to meet with President Xi and Madame Peng Liyuan.
