Gifted Giant Pandas Scheduled for Arrival in Hong Kong Before National Day
Gifted Giant Pandas Arrival
Gifted giant pandas from Beijing are scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong on September 26. These bears, aged between five and eight years, will travel from Chengdu in Sichuan province via Cathay Pacific Airways' cargo services.
The bears are set to arrive just before National Day on October 1, but will face a 30-day quarantine upon their arrival to ensure their health and safety.
Background of the Gifted Pandas
Celebrating the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty, these giant pandas are expected to bring joy to local residents. A delegation from Hong Kong, including veterinarians from Ocean Park, plans to visit Sichuan prior to the pandas' departure.
- Origin: Dujiangyan base of China Conservation and Research Centre.
- Previous Pandas: Family of four, including twins born to Ying Ying and Le Le.
The upcoming arrival of these pandas adds excitement to the community, who anticipate their names and integration with existing panda residents.
The new pandas are expected to be a female and a male, bringing hope for more panda births in the future, following previous difficulties encountered by Ying Ying and Le Le.
While previous pairs of pandas in Hong Kong did not mate successfully, this new addition to the local panda population might change that narrative.
