After completing more than two months of quarantine and acclimatization, the beloved giant panda Fu Bao officially met the public on June 12 at the Shenshuping giant panda base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Fu Bao returned to China on April 3 from South Korea's Everland Zoo, where it was born. Upon arrival, the panda was housed at the Shenshuping giant panda base.

During quarantine, Fu Bao adjusted well and built trust with its keepers. After the quarantine, Fu Bao was moved to the breeding area of the base, where it began to interact with other pandas through sound and odor.
