Hong Kong’s youngest celebrities, two six-month-old panda cubs, have met with their adoring fans in their first public appearance.

The twin cubs, born on August 15, are Hong Kong’s first locally-born giant panda cubs. They live at the Ocean Park theme park along with their parents and two other giant pandas that arrived from mainland China last year.
