Excitement filled the air at Hong Kong's Ocean Park as the newly arrived panda pair, An An and Ke Ke, made their public debut on Sunday. After completing their quarantine period, the adorable duo took their first steps into their new home, captivating visitors with their playful antics.
During their debut, An An showed a curious side by approaching the glass of the panda enclosure, eager to get a closer look at the enthusiastic crowd. Ke Ke, equally charming, enjoyed basking in the warm welcome from fans of all ages.
The arrival of An An and Ke Ke in September marks the third pair of giant pandas sent to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, bringing the total panda population at Ocean Park to six. This latest addition highlights the ongoing collaboration between Hong Kong and the mainland in wildlife conservation and cultural exchange.
The pandas have quickly adapted to their new environment, and their presence is expected to boost tourism and foster a greater appreciation for these magnificent creatures. Ocean Park continues to be a beloved destination for both locals and international visitors, offering a unique opportunity to witness the grace and charm of giant pandas up close.
