STORYLINE :
Hong Kong’s new celebrity pandas have met their adoring public for the first time (Sunday 8 December).
The pandas are named "An An" and "Ke Ke" in Mandarin Chinese, which is different from the Chinese language normally used in Hong Kong.
There was a plan to choose new names for them in Hong Kong, but the selection process resulted in a choice of keeping the original names.
They had been in quarantine, since their arrival in September and they are now housed at Ocean Park, a wildlife and amusement centre.
The addition of the new pair brings the Ocean Park panda population to six.
"An An" and "Ke Ke", are both five years old and are living in separate enclosures next to each other.
Early morning, they come out to eat breakfast, which is bamboo sticks and other vegetables.
For their first appearance in front of the public, both pandas spent more than an hour exploring their enclosures and finding their food.
Ocean Park manages the crowds by allowing just 100 to 150 people into the panda enclosures for a fifteen minute period.
They are the third pair of giant pandas to be sent to Hong Kong from mainland China since the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
Visitor Kami Yeung says : "I’ve been following them on Instagram, and it’s quite nice to see the photographs but now I can see them live, it’s even better."
"We are very happy to be here, and see the new pandas, and see whether they like Hong Kong." says Guo Nai Jia, a mainland Chinese citizen resident in Hong Kong, who brought her children to see the new pandas.
