4 pandas born in Japan arrive in Sichuan

CHENGDU — Four Japan-born giant pandas arrived in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan province, on Saturday evening.

The four pandas — 24-year-old Rauhin and her three daughters, 8-year-old Yuihin, 6-year-old Saihin and 4-year-old Fuhin — were sent to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding for quarantine.

To ensure their safe and smooth arrival, Japan customized special transportation facilities and Chinese experts traveled to Japan before the pandas' departure to learn about their habits and breeding conditions. Both teams accompanied the pandas to China.
