Two giant pandas gifted to Hong Kong by Beijing were unveiled to the press on Monday, December 2, just days ahead of their official naming ceremony and public debut.
Originally named "An An" and "Ke Ke," the pandas were gifted to mark the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule.
The five-year-old pair arrived in the city from Sichuan province on September 26 and have spent two months settling into their new home. Since then, the Hong Kong government has held a naming contest for the two — the results of which will be unveiled during the official handover ceremony this Saturday (December 7). The two will then make their public debut on Sunday (December 8).
