Visitors throng to see giant pandas in renovated abode

Beijing Zoo's giant panda house reopened Saturday following a five-day renovation, with visitors thronging to get a glimpse of their favorite animals in their upgraded habitats.

The authorities kept the panda house closed from Oct 28 to Nov 1 for improvements aimed at enhancing the animals' physical and mental well-being through behavioral enrichment.

Since 2020, the zoo has introduced annual upgrades to better simulate natural settings for the pandas.
