Eight pandas from Sichuan ended a 10-month stay in Beijing Sunday.
The pandas arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International airport in Sichuan Province at 8:45 p.m., March 22, 2009, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The pandas were sent to Beijing from their damaged habitat at the Wolong Nature Reserve near the epicenter of May 12 Wenchuan earthquake last year.
