Chinese giant panda Ya Ya returned to the embrace of its motherland after 20 years on April 27 at 4:23 pm Beijing time.

Many citizens of Shanghai spontaneously went to Shanghai Pudong Airport to greet Ya Ya's arrival.

Some fans who saw the flight that brought Ya Ya back home at the airport cried with excitement.

Ms. Feng, a citizen of Shanghai, said that she had been following Ya Ya’s situation for more than two months. She was relieved to see it return safely to China.

"I used to only know that giant pandas are our national treasure, but after learning more about them, I realized that they are not only endangered animals but also have high intelligence," she added.

北京时间4月27日下午4点23分，大熊猫“丫丫”时隔20年，重新回到祖国的怀抱。不少上海市民自发前往上海浦东机场接机，迎接“丫丫”回国。有粉丝在机场附近看到送“丫丫”回家的航班落地，激动得失声痛哭，哭得撕心裂肺，
上海市民冯女士称，她关注“丫丫”已经有两个多月的时间，看到它平安回国，现在心里的一块石头终于放下了。“以前只知道大熊猫是我们的国宝，不过深入了解大熊猫才知道，它们不仅是濒危动物，而且还有很高的智商，它们是全国人民真正的‘毛孩子’。
