A crowd of people, some weeping, gathered at a rain-soaked amusement park in South Korea to bid farewell to their beloved giant panda before her departure to China on Wednesday.
Fu Bao has been a major attraction at the Everland theme park near Seoul since she was born there in 2020 to two other giant pandas Ai Bao and Le Bao, who came from China in 2016 on a 15-year lease program.
On Wednesday, many panda fans in South Korea stood in the rain to say goodbye at the Everland park to Fu Bao, who was to be flown to China later in the day.
As a truck carrying Fu Bao slowly moved to a plaza amid rain, many visitors wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas waved flags, shouted their parting messages and took photos with their phones. Some loudly cried or wiped away tears.
The truck was decorated with a huge picture of Fu Bao and a message that read “It was a miracle that we met you. Thank you, Fu Bao.”
But she wasn’t shown to the public on Wednesday.
Her last public appearance was on March 3.
