Hong Kong is getting two more giant pandas, but what does caring for them involve?
“We are thrilled that we are going to have these two new pandas in Ocean Park,” the attraction’s chairman, Paulo Pong Kin-yee, told the Post.
He said the park was working closely with Sichuan province authorities and Hong Kong’s Culture, Sports, and Tourism Bureau and the pandas were expected “in the next few months”.
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will lead a delegation including his wife Janet Lee Lam Lai-sim, Pong, tourism minister Kevin Yeung Yun-hung and Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation officials to the Dujiangyan Base of the China Conservation and Research Centre in Sichuan on Sunday to discuss the arrangements for the new pandas.
The pandas are Beijing’s gifts to Hong Kong to celebrate the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese sovereignty.
