Le Le, a two-year-old giant panda cub, made his final public appearance on December 13 before entering quarantine and preparing for his flight to China on January 16 next year.

About 1,000 people came to the Pavilion Capital Giant Panda Forest exhibit of River Wonders Park, a renowned zoo in Singapore, to bid farewell to Le Le, according to the Mandai Wildlife Group.

The male panda cub will board a chartered freight aircraft from Singapore to Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province.
