On a spring morning, Hong Kong Observatory issued a rainstorm alert. At Ocean Park Hong Kong, as soon as they arrived at work at 8:00 a.m., the caretakers rushed to check out the situation of Lele and Yingying, two 17-year-old giant pandas, as they might be disturbed by the adverse weather. The two plump and fluffy creatures just woke up and lay cozily in the dormitory, where the temperature was kept between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius. The exhibition space outside was designed like a mini mountain forest decorated with waterfalls, brooks, rocks, slopes, etc. After the caretakers cleaned the space and put in the bamboo breakfast, Lele and Yingying came out from the dormitory at around 10:00 a.m. and began enjoying the first of their four daily meals.

XINHUA PHOTOS OF THE DAY

(231208) -- BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This file photo shows the PandaX-4T experiment facility, at the second phase of China Jinping Underground Laboratory in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of southwest China's Sichuan Province. A 2,400-meter-deep physics laboratory in southwest China's Sichuan Province became operational on Thursday, making it the deepest and largest underground lab in the world. Scientists believe the laboratory provides a "clean" space for them to pursue the invisible substance known as dark matter. They said the extreme depth helps block most cosmic rays that mess with the observation. The Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) is located beneath Jinping Mountain in Sichuan's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. The DURF, with a total room capacity of 330,000 cubic meters, is the second phase of China Jinping Underground Laboratory.

At Ocean Park Hong Kong, as soon as they arrived at work at 8:00 a.m., the caretakers rushed to check out the situation of Lele and Yingying, two 17-year-old giant pandas, as they might be disturbed by the adverse weather. The two plump and fluffy creatures just woke up and lay cozily in the dormitory, where the temperature was kept between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius. The exhibition space outside was designed like a mini mountain forest decorated with waterfalls, brooks, rocks, slopes, etc. After the caretakers cleaned the space and put in the bamboo breakfast, Lele and Yingying came out from the dormitory at around 10:00 a.m. and began enjoying the first of their four daily meals.
