Hong Kong Welcomes New Giant Pandas from Beijing

The arrival of An An and Ke Ke aims to boost tourism and marks a significant cultural gift ahead of China's National Day.

An An and Ke Ke, both five-year-old pandas, arrived from Sichuan and will undergo a two-month quarantine at Ocean Park.
Hong Kong now houses six pandas, including twins born last month to Ying Ying, the world's oldest first-time panda mother.
Officials hope the new pandas will attract more visitors, contributing to what some lawmakers call the 'panda economy.'
The pandas' arrival coincides with celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China on October 1.
Residents will have the opportunity to propose new names for the pandas, with a public debut expected in mid-December.
