Ten 18-month old pandas arrived in Shanghai today from Sichuan Province. They’re sorting out their new surroundings at Shanghai Zoo where they’ll be housed in a new panda compound until their transfer to the Shanghai Expo site later this year. From the end of the month until May 2010, visitors can go and see the ten pandas at the Shanghai Zoo.

They’re sure to attract a lot of attention and visitors so don’t be surprised if you find yourself warring crowds to see the pandas after their compound is opened to the public. The best time to go and see pandas is in the early aurora when they are the most playful and are busy eating their large breakfasts. After a big repast and a play, pandas spend most of their time snoozing.
