Everland's Twin Pandas Ruibao and Huibao to Return to China This Winter

Return Set According to Agreement Requiring Relocation Before Age Four
Special Quarantine and End of Public Viewing One Month Before Departure

The twin giant pandas, Ruibao and Huibao, residing in the Panda Second House at Everland operated by Samsung C&T Resort Group, will be relocated to China in the third week of December to begin a new chapter of their lives.

On September 30, Everland announced that, after close discussions with relevant organizations in China, including the China Wildlife Conservation Association and the Panda Conservation Research Center, the schedule for the return of the twin pandas born in July 2023 has been set for mid-December this year.

Every giant panda born worldwide must return to China before reaching four years of age, which is the age when they are considered adults and capable of breeding, according to international agreements for the conservation of endangered species. Everland stated that it has carefully coordinated the optimal environment and timing for the relocation to ensure the twins' healthy and safe adaptation.

The exact date of relocation and the destination in China will be finalized after a comprehensive review of various conditions, including the pandas' real-time health status, temperature changes, and available local transportation options.

Ruibao and Huibao will undergo intensive health care and quarantine procedures in a dedicated enclosure beginning about one month before their scheduled departure, following the same process as their older sister, Fu Bao. The date when their public viewing will end for general visitors will be announced separately once confirmed.

Everland plans to hold a "Farewell Program" for customers and fans who have shown great affection for the twin pandas.

An Everland representative commented, "A team of expert keepers and veterinarians will do their utmost to care for Ruibao and Huibao until the day of their relocation, so that the twins can adapt stably and happily to their new environment. We ask for your continued interest and warm encouragement as the twin pandas embark on their new journey."
