Hong Kong is preparing a 100-day celebration for the giant panda twins, with traditional red eggs, ginger vinegar with pig’s trotters, and a live broadcast of their adorable moments. Their father, Le Le, will also make a strong comeback. Here’s a look at the celebration highlights.
In August this year, Hong Kong’s Ocean Park panda Ying Ying, a gift from mainland China, gave birth to a pair of twins, capturing the city’s attention. The twins will reach 100 days old on November 23, and to celebrate, Ocean Park will hold events across the park from November 23 to 24 with various panda-themed activities.
