Hong Kong is gearing up for a tourism boost as two giant pandas are set to make their public debut this Sunday. Gifted by Beijing to commemorate the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China, the adult pandas are expected to draw crowds eager to catch a glimpse of these beloved animals.
The arrival of the pandas increases Hong Kong’s panda population to six, following the birth of two cubs in August. The city hopes that the new additions will help revive its tourism industry, aiming to reclaim its status as one of Asia’s top destinations.
The pandas symbolize the strengthening ties between Hong Kong and mainland China. As they settle into their new home, anticipation builds among residents and visitors alike for this unique opportunity to see the rare creatures up close.
