The new pair of giant pandas given by China's central government as gifts to the Macao Special Administrative Region is scheduled to arrive in Macao this week.
Experts from the mainland were happy with the preparations made by staff members with the Macao giant panda pavilion after they visited the living and medical facilities of the pandas during an inspection tour in the city.
The two giant pandas were chosen from more than 50 candidates following a three-month selection process. The pandas, a male and a female, both weigh 110 kilograms.
They were named Kaikai and Xinxin, after their predecessors who died in June last year. Those pandas came to Macao as gifts for the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Macao's return to China. The luxury pavilion houses feeding and medical facilities and costs some 90 million patacas, roughly 11-and-a half million U.S. dollars.
