WAKAYAMA — All four giant pandas at the Adventure World theme park in Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture, will be returned to China on June 28, the park’s operator said Friday.

A farewell ceremony is scheduled to be held at 4 p.m. on the day prior to the pandas’ departure.

The four pandas, all females, are Rauhin, 24, and her children — Yuihin, 8, Saihin, 6, and Fuhin, 4. Rauhin is the first panda born at Adventure World.

The theme park plans to keep the pandas indoors during a monthlong quarantine period starting on Monday. Visitors can view the pandas inside until the day of the farewell ceremony.
