On January 28 Beijing Time, Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei, giant pandas from Ueno Zoo, returned to China under China-Japan agreements. They safely arrived in Chengdu and entered the Ya'an Base of the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center for quarantine.

This marks the end of over five decades of panda presence in Japan.Japanese citizens have expressed their reluctance to see them leave, and an economics professor pointed out that this could cause Japanese zoos an annual loss of approximately $1.34 billion.(Photo/Xinhua News)
