On Saturday, the giant panda twins, born to Ying Ying—a giant panda gifted by China's central government to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region—celebrated their 100th day.
Ocean Park Hong Kong hosted a celebration event to mark the special occasion, attracting many visitors clad in giant panda-themed outfits who gathered outside the park in the morning. Guests were treated to red eggs and pork knuckle ginger stew, which are traditional foods distributed to share joy when a family welcomes a newborn.
Inside the park, countless cartoon images of the panda twins adorned the area, accompanied by welcome banners. The twins' father, Le Le, also made a public appearance during the event.
In a first for Ocean Park, a live-streaming session was initiated to provide real-time footage of the panda twins. The female cub made her entrance first, lounging on a bed and stretching intermittently.
As the event continued, caretakers placed the male cub on the bed to interact with his sister. The two pandas engaged in playful movements, cuddling with each other and eliciting cheers from the audience.
According to Ocean Park, the panda twins have started to grow teeth. The female cub, who weighed 122 grams at birth, has reached a weight of 5.3 kg, while her brother has increased from 112 grams at birth to 5.5 kg.
Kevin Yeung, secretary for culture, sports and tourism of the HKSAR government, stated that the HKSAR government will collaborate with the Hong Kong Tourism Board and Ocean Park to organize various promotional activities, positioning the new giant panda family as tourism ambassadors for the region.
Additionally, Yeung mentioned that the third pair of giant pandas, An An and Ke Ke—also gifted by the central government to Hong Kong—are in good condition and are set to meet the public in December.
