(230526) -- CHENGDU, May 26, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Ninon Vernay and her parents arrive at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 20, 2023. "There are many more pandas here than in France!" exclaimed Ninon Vernay, a little French girl, at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, delighted to see the lively and cute giant pandas in their native country.
