　　　　At 12: 45 yesterday, eight Olympic giant pandas who had lived in Beijing for nearly 10 months set foot on their journey back to Sichuan, and tens of thousands of tourists went to see them off. Volunteers who used to be commentators at the Olympic Panda Pavilion cried and said goodbye to the panda babies.

　　　　At about 11 o’clock last night, the giant pandas finally arrived at the Bifengxia base in Ya ‘an, China Conservation Giant Panda Research Center by plane and car. They are in good physical and mental condition and are sent to the animal house to rest.

　　　　　　82-year-old man came to see me off.

　　　　"Is the Olympic panda gone?" At 8 o’clock yesterday morning, hundreds of tourists gathered outside the giant panda hall of Beijing Zoo, all of whom were very concerned about the situation of giant pandas. The staff of the Panda Pavilion kept explaining that eight Olympic giant pandas were still on display as usual.

　　　　In the Olympic Panda Pavilion, eight giant pandas are playing or eating bamboo in their respective activity areas, enjoying themselves. Good sisters "Duoduo" and "Cuicui" snuggled up in the corner of the playground, "Huanhuan" and "Taotao" hugged and wrestled, and "Fuwa" lay on the ground with bamboo on all fours. Tourists took out their cameras and took photos with the little ones.

　　　　"I came here early in the morning just to see the giant panda for the last time." Grandma Wang, 82, lives in Fengtai District and took a bus to the zoo to bid farewell to the Olympic panda.

　　　　At 9 o’clock in the morning, on the stage on the west side of the Giant Panda Pavilion, more than 20 children from Yinhe Youth Art Troupe sang "Love is the Most Beautiful": "panda,panda, I love you …" The immature singing attracted many tourists’ attention.

　　　　At the short farewell ceremony held in Beijing Zoo, China Research Center for the Protection of Giant Panda presented Wolong soil and Minjiang River water to Beijing Park Management Center. A "national treasure map" with 13 panda cubs born after the earthquake and the palm print of the panda cubs were presented to Beijing Zoo, and the naming right of one of the cubs was given to Beijing. After collecting the names of cubs from the public, Beijing Zoo was finally named "Olympic Games".

　　　　Yang Changjiang, a breeder, said that in order to "lure" giant pandas into cages, they were only given half a breakfast. In the morning, the breeder has cleaned the Olympic Panda Pavilion and disinfected the cages for transporting giant pandas.

　　　　　The greedy cat "Meixin" was first caged.

　　　　In the morning, more than 10,000 people went to the zoo to bid farewell to the Olympic pandas. At 10 o’clock, after the Olympic Panda exhibition, many tourists gathered around the truck carrying the panda. Many children ride around their father’s neck, expecting the baby pandas to appear.

　　　　"Mei Xin, Guaibao, go home!" The breeder called "Meixin" who was playing outside the stadium in Sichuan dialect, and put the cage at the door of the animal house. Soon, "Meixin" got into the animal house, but "Fuwa" followed. The two little guys were attracted by carrots in the cage and blocked the cage door.

　　　　Li Feng, the breeder, waved a pot of carrots in front of Fuwa. Fuwa was attracted, only to find that the food outside the animal house could not be eaten, and immediately went to squeeze the door with Meixin. Seeing that there were more carrots in Li Feng’s hand than in the cage, the greedy cat "Meixin" stared intently at the food basin and followed the breeder to climb to the next animal house. The breeder patted Meixin’s nose, talked to her constantly, fed her, and calmed her mood. In about 5 minutes, "Meixin" was the first to be successfully "lured" into the cage.

　　　　At 11: 30 in the morning, the last baby panda was caged with fresh bamboo, apples and carrots.
