TWO GIANT PANDAS ARRIVE IN SNOWY FINLAND

Two giant pandas arrived in Finland on Thursday. They are a gift from China to celebrate the small European
nation’s 100 years of independence. The two are a four-year-old “little boy”, Hua Bao, and a three-year-old
“little girl”, Jin Baobao.

Finnish politicians and the Chinese ambassador to Finland welcomed the animals in a ceremony at Helsinki’s
airport. “We think this is the best gift that Chinese people can give to Finland,” said the ambassador, Chen Li.
He was speaking about the country’s 100th anniversary in December 2017.

The pandas have been given new names. Their new, Finnish names are Pyry -- or “Snowfall” -- for the boy,
and Lumi -- or “Snow” -- for the girl.

Finnish panda expert Anna Palmroth said the 6,500-kilometer flight from Chengdu, China to Helsinki went well.
She said the pandas spent most of the time sleeping and eating bamboo, carrots and apples.

Then, the pandas began a trip to the Ahtari Zoo nature reserve in central Finland, about 330 kilometres north of
Helsinki. The Ahtari Zoo specializes in animals from the north of Europe. The zoo will have the giant pandas for
15 years. It has built a special Panda House because they hope they will receive more visitors. The building
project cost nearly 8 million euros. The Associated Press reports that the cold weather in Ahtari was similar to
conditions in China’s mountain areas.

Chinese President Xi Jinping offered Finnish President Sauli Niinisto the two pandas in April 2017. For more
than half a century, the Chinese government has used “panda diplomacy” as a sign of closer relations with
other countries.

In 1972, the United States received two giant pandas after U.S. President Richard Nixon’s historic visit to
China. More than 1 million people came to see the pandas during their first year at the National Zoo in
Washington, D.C.
