THE Chinese central government will send a pair of giant pandas to the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) next Saturday as all preparation work has been finished.
The decision was made last December to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Macao SAR. The panda pair will depart from their breeding center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The Macao SAR government has announced that the chosen panda pair will be named "Kai Kai" and "Xin Xin", which means happiness in Chinese when the two names are combined.
Giant pandas, known for being sexually inactive, are among the world's most endangered animals. About 1,600 giant pandas live in China's wild, mostly in Sichuan and the northwestern provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu.
