Ocean Park: Exciting New Pandas to Arrive Soon with Naming Contest

Exciting Arrival of Pandas at Ocean Park

Ocean Park in Hong Kong is buzzing with excitement as it prepares for the arrival of two giant pandas, gifted by Beijing. City leader John Lee Ka-chiu announced the launch of a citywide naming contest in October, inviting the public to come up with creative names for the pandas, who will meet the public in mid-December after a quarantine period. The pandas, previously known as An An and Ke Ke, were given to Hong Kong to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the city’s return to Chinese sovereignty.

Quarantine and Adaptation Process

Before making their public debut, the new pandas will undergo a 30-day quarantine followed by an additional month to adapt to their new environment. Lee confirmed that the theme park has taken preparation steps, including installing climbing frames and upgrading supervision systems to ensure the pandas have a comfortable home.

Panda-Themed Engagement and Tourism

To mark this significant event, Ocean Park encourages all sectors of society to launch panda-related products, boosting local consumption. As these beloved creatures arrive, the number of pandas at Ocean Park will rise to six, with two cubs born locally recently. Expect more contests and events where the public can engage with the adorable pandas.
