Two giants pandas arrive happy, healthy at LAX

Yun Chuan and Xin Bao

Giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao arrived at Los Angeles International Airport in the United States on Thursday morning local time, according to the China Wildlife Conservation Association.

After going through customs and other procedures, a temperature-controlled transport vehicle transported the two giant pandas from the airport to the San Diego Zoo.

The two giant pandas have entered the panda isolation quarantine facility for a one-month quarantine period. Following examinations by professional keepers and veterinarians from both China and the U.S., the two giant pandas were declared to be in good health.

Two Chinese experts escorting Yun Chuan and Xin Bao will stay in the U.S. for at least three months to accompany them through the quarantine period and help them adapt to their new life.

In the future, various methods will be used to introduce the daily lives of the two giant pandas to the public.
