Two adult giant pandas are getting ready to meet the public in Hong Kong. The pair was gifted to Hong Kong by Beijing to mark the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China. They will meet the public on Sunday. The city’s panda population tripled to six after two cubs were born in the city in August. Hong Kong wants to use the pandas to boost its economy as the city works to regain its position as one of Asia’s top tourism destinations. Laura Westbrook got a sneak preview of the pandas.
