Pandas get ready for new life in South Korea
Print Edition
A pair of giant pandas are leaving China for their new home in South Korea on Thursday on a 15-year loan.
Yuan Xin and Hua Ni will be on a Korean Air flight from the southwestern city of Chengdu, home of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
Their new home will be at Everland, South Korea’s largest theme park, about 40 kilometers from Seoul.
During President Xi Jinping’s visit to South Korea in 2014, the two countries pledged cooperation in panda research, and the loan was agreed during Premier Li Keqiang’s visit last year.
Yuan Xin, a 3-year-old male, is described as lively and outgoing, while 2-year-old Hua Ni is a “good girl” with a slightly introverted and docile disposition.
