A giant panda from China arrives at the Vienna Airport in Austria on April 23, 2025.

Two giant pandas departed from southwest China's Sichuan Province on Wednesday bound for Austria, where they will spend the next decade at Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo as part of an ongoing conservation and research program between the two countries.

The pandas, a male named He Feng and a female named Lan Yun, were born in 2020 and are described as energetic and gentle, respectively. Their names reference the freshness of lotus and the fragrance of orchids, according to the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP). (Photo by Du Yi/Xinhua)
