The two four-year-old pandas, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, are a goodwill gift from the Chinese mainland to Taiwan. They were singled out of a total 23 pandas from the Wolong Nature Reserve and are considered the most handsome and compatible pair.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were relocated from Wolong to Ya'an in June. They are now both happy and healthy. On Tuesday, they are scheduled to set off for their new home at the Taipei Zoo to start their new life there."
