Victoria Bela Published: 8:56pm, 27 Sep 2026 Two giant pandas have arrived in Atlanta to take up residency at the southern US city’s zoo. The pandas, male Ping Ping and female Fu Shuang, left Chengdu in China’s southwest on Sunday, within days of Chinese President Xi Jinping wrapping up his three-day state visit to the United States.
During the visit, Xi said the pandas would arrive “in a few days”.
Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, whose names mean peace and double blessings, arrived at Atlanta International Airport on a chartered flight, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
