″If you look at the information board, you will have to wait 220 minutes, or almost 4 hours, to see the pandas.″

″Fubao’s favorite flower is rapeseed. So her keepers her Kang her grandfather and her Song grandfather planted her rape flowers for her.″
Fubao is also very popular on Chinese social media.
A photo of the zookeepers who took care of Fu Bao in Korea and a Chinese actor who resembled them was posted together, and a joke was made that if Korean zookeepers could not be brought in, they would have to be used.
In Korea, there is also a post saying that Fu Bao has a light in his eyes and is worried that he might lose it when he returns to China.
A video of zookeepers shedding tears after the final reveal became popular on Chinese social media.
It is reported that when Fu Bao arrives in China next month, he will be sent to the Sun Ping Base of the Wolong Panda Conservation Center in Sichuan Province.
This is a relatively recently built base, with about 50 pandas living on a large site of 1.5 million square meters.
Fubao will be quarantined at Sunsunping Base for about a month and will be released to the public after adjusting to the new environment.

″When we come to China, our zookeepers speak Sichuan dialect, so we need to adapt to the language environment.″
China appears to be resuming ‘panda diplomacy’ by deciding to send a pair back to the United States and Spain, which recently received the pandas back.
