Giant pandas Yi Lan and Xing Qiu have arrived at Adelaide Zoo, marking a significant event in the zoo's history and a symbol of strong diplomatic relations between Australia and China. The pandas, who arrived after a month of quarantine, were welcomed by dignitaries and visitors at an official ceremony.
Giant pandas Yi Lan and Xing Qiu have frolicked joyfully for the first time in their new home at Adelaide Zoo’s Bamboo Forest, as dignitaries and visitors welcomed the pair to their new life in Australia. After an official welcome ceremony on Tuesday led by SA Premier Peter Malinauskas and Chinese ambassador Xiao Qian, crowds streamed into the pandas’ new home to see them explore their surroundings.
Xing Qiu did not linger for long, heading to his indoor enclosure for a nap before later returning to the delight of their first visitors. But Yi Lan was more adventurous, ripping apart her enrichment box to access the panda cake, apple and carrot inside. The pandas were a powerful symbol of strong diplomatic relations between Australia and China, Malinauskas said.
