Berlin Zoo says Chinese pandas will 'feel at home'

BERLIN - Berlin Zoo is building a "paradise" for two pandas due to arrive on Saturday from China to make them "feel at home," the zoo's director said on Wednesday.

The new villa of Jiao Qing and Meng Meng covers about 5,500 square meters, with a vermilion archway and bamboo fence.

The old Chinese pavilion, damaged during World War II, was also renovated on high ground for visitors to watch the black-eyed bears more clearly.
