The Giant Panda Xiang Xiang in Japan Will Return To China To Meet Tourists At Ueno Zoo On The Last Day

According to NHK TV, the female giant panda "Xiang Xiang" living in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo will return to China on the 21st, and the 19th will be the last day for visiting "Xiang Xiang" at the Ueno Zoo.
According to the information released by Ueno Zoo, starting from January 21, the visit to "Xiangxiang" will adopt a lottery system in advance, and a maximum of 2,600 people will win the lottery every day, and the visit will end on February 19.
"Xiangxiang" is very popular in Japan, and many people are sad to leave it. According to reports, among the tourists who came to visit on the 19th, many people said goodbye to Xiangxiang while saying "goodbye" and "thank you" during the average visit time of 2 minutes.
According to reports, "Xiangxiang" will leave the zoo in a truck on the morning of the 21st, and fly to China with the breeder on a special plane.
It is reported that "Xiang Xiang" was born in June 2017, and her parents are "Bili" and "Fairy", the Chinese giant pandas in Japan. In June 2021, "Xiannv" gave birth to twin giant panda cubs "Xiaoxiao" and "Leilei", and "Xiangxiang" was promoted to be an older sister. Since "Xiang Xiang"'s parents are giant pandas on loan from China, the ownership of their cubs belongs to China. According to the plan, "Xiangxiang" was originally scheduled to return to China at the end of December 2020, but due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, its return date has been postponed many times.
