YA'AN, Sichuan - A pair of giant pandas offered by the Chinese mainland are going to leave Ya'an Tuesday for Taiwan.

The 4-year-old pandas, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, have been living at a breeding base in Ya'an, Sichuan Province, since the May 12 strong earthquake which damaged their former home in Wolong.

The pair will be brought to Taiwan on a Taiwan flight which arrived in Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, on Monday.

After having their breakfast - carrot and steamed corn buns, the pair were caged and carried to an enclosed truck, which will carry them to the Shuangliu Airport in Chengdu.

Keepers said the pandas were in good condition.
