3 pandas born in Japan come home

Three giant pandas that returned from Japan will meet visitors after a monthlong quarantine is completed at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan province.

Two experienced keepers will care for Hai Bang, Yang Bang and You Bang in their new residence opposite the main office building of the base, said information officer Chen Cheng.

The panda residence is in the base's old animal hospital, which has no other panda inhabitants, she said.
