On January 9th David went to quarantine to see the pandas, YuanZi and HuanHuan that are coming to France. Here are a few pictures that were taken by the photographer who was accompanying him and a video David shot himself.

YuanZi looking cute.
On the next pictures YuanZi is on the left and HuanHuan on the right.
Keeper Mr. Zhang Hao will go to France with the pandas and will stay in Beauval Zoo for several months to share his knowledge and make sure that the pandas adapt well.
David is happy that these great pandas are chosen.
Here is the video.
David tells me:
“I am sure that everyone will fall in love with YuanZi and HuanHuan as soon as they meet them in France, and I hope it will make people want to come and visit the Panda Base in Chengdu, Sichuan, to meet YuanZi and HuanHuan’s relatives and all the other wonderful pandas. There are over a hundred pandas there. Another great reason to come is Chengdu itself, one of the most modern and exciting cities in China, especially renowned for its delicious cuisine and beautiful popular and historic places (don’t miss Jinli, the Wide and Narrow Lane, DuFu’s Thatched Cottage, Jinsha Museum, and my personal favourite: Renmin Park, where everyone is always dancing).”
