(250515) -- VIENNA, May 15, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Children welcome a giant panda pair from China at Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Austria, May 14, 2025.
A welcoming ceremony for the arrival of a new pair of gaint pandas from southwest China's Sichuan Province was held here on Wednesday. The pandas, male He Feng and female Lan Yun, were both born in 2020. They arrived at Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo on April 23 for a decade-long stay as symbols of friendship between China and Austria.
According to the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, He Feng is energetic, while Lan Yun is known for her gentle nature. Their names refer to the freshness of lotus flowers and the fragrance of orchids, reflecting traditional Chinese symbolism. (Xinhua/He Canling)
