(250629) -- CHENGDU, June 29, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Staff members transfer newly arrived giant pandas at the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, June 28, 2025.
Four Japan-born giant pandas arrived here 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.
In 1994, China began cooperation on giant panda conservation with Adventure World amusement park, located in the coastal town of Shirahama in Japan's Wakayama Prefecture. The two countries have bred 17 cubs together and established the largest overseas artificial breeding population of giant pandas, known as the "Hin Family."
Over the years, China and Japan have developed a solid partnership and achieved remarkable progress in panda conservation and breeding, cub care and disease treatment, scientific exchange and public education. (Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding/Handout via Xinhua)
