14 panda cubs to go on display during National Day holiday

Jiang Xue, a middled-aged panda fan in Chengdu, Sichuan province, was overjoyed when she learned she could see almost all the panda cubs born this year on display at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding during the upcoming National Day holiday.

"I learned 14 panda cubs about 1 or 2 months old would be on display in the two nurseries at the base. I'll take my 8-year-old daughter there," said the self-employed woman, who visits the base frequently.

Huang Xiangming, chief of the animal management division of the panda base, said panda from the base, including one in the United States and another in Spain, gave birth to 20 cubs from July 10 to August 30.
