Giant pandas An An and Ke Ke, the latest fuzzy ambassadors from the Chinese mainland, officially greeted Hong Kong residents on Sunday at Ocean Park! 🎉 After finishing their quarantine and adjusting to their bamboo-filled habitat, the duo charmed crowds—especially curious An An, who approached the glass to literally press the ‘paws’ button with visitors. 🐾
The pair arrived in September, boosting Ocean Park’s panda family to six. As the third pair gifted from the Chinese mainland since 1999, their arrival underscores cross-border conservation collaboration. 🌏
‘They’re settling in beautifully,’ said a park spokesperson. ‘These pandas aren’t just symbols of friendship—they’re vital to global wildlife preservation efforts.’ 🎋
Pro tip for travelers: Add Ocean Park to your Hong Kong itinerary for an un-bear-ably cute experience! 📸
