Giant pandas "Ai Bao" and "Le Bao" living in South Korea gave birth to the first giant panda baby "Fubao" in South Korea, which is extremely popular in South Korea. According to plan, "Fubao" will return to China on April 3 this year, and the time for "Fubao" to meet Korean tourists has also entered the final countdown.
Financial Channel Special Correspondent Liu Zheng: In the Giant Panda Pavilion of Everland, a family of five giant pandas living in South Korea live here. The park limits admission time to five minutes. Even so, if you want to see the true face of a giant panda, you have to queue for nearly 220 minutes (nearly four hours). According to relevant regulations, giant pandas must undergo health quarantine management in a private environment one month before returning to China, so "Fubao" last met with Korean tourists on March 3.
"Fubao" is South Korea's "top star" and is known as "Princess Fu". After the announcement of "Fu Bao"'s return schedule, the average daily number of visitors to the Everland Giant Panda Pavilion exceeded 8,000.
At present, "Fubao returns to China" is a hot topic in South Korea. Reports about "Fubao" can often be seen in the media, and books about "Fubao" rushed to the bestseller list as soon as they were published. Two types of transportation cards designed with the "Fubao" theme are limited to 10,000 pieces each.
"Giant panda craze" is currently rising in South Korea. Many brands have launched "Bao Family" co-branded products, including headphones, clothing, etc. The giant panda theme in street photo booths is also quite popular.
As the farewell comes closer and closer, a farewell banner is hung on the road leading to the Giant Panda Pavilion from Everland with the words "Meeting you is a miracle, thank you" and other words. The "Fubao" fan group also spontaneously raised funds to post farewell advertisements in subway stations. "Fubao" was also awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen" by Yongin City, where Everland is located.
