Two Giant Pandas Arrive at Zoo Atlanta Under 10-Year China-US Loan Agreement
Two giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, arrived at Zoo Atlanta from China under a 10-year loan agreement announced during Chinese President Xi Jinping's 2023 visit to Washington. The pandas, born in 2020 at the Chengdu Research Base, mark the return of pandas to the zoo after a 2024 absence. Their transfer, part of China's panda diplomacy, aims to support conservation and breeding efforts. The pandas will undergo a month-long quarantine before public viewing, with Chinese and American staff collaborating on their care.
