Nearly 100 locals gathered at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, Netherlands, on October 30 to see off giant panda Lang Yue as she embarks on her journey back to the homeland of all giant pandas, China.

Lang Yue holds a special place in Dutch hearts. She was born at the zoo in July 2024, the offspring of Xing Ya and Wu Wen, the first pair of giant pandas to arrive in the Netherlands in 2017.

Since their arrival, the two countries have built strong ties in panda conservation, sharing expertise in animal care, scientific research and public education. As beloved ambassadors of friendship, the pandas have become a symbol of the shared commitment to wildlife protection.

As Lang Yue heads home, the bond she helped build between the two nations is only set to grow.
