Historia
On the occasion of the Rt. Hon. Edward Heath's visit to China in June 1974, the Chinese Government made a gift of two Giant Pandas to the British people. Female Ching Ching means 'Crystal Bright'. Ching Ching came from the Wanglang Reserve in Pingwu county, northern Szechwan.
In 1981 Ching Ching made headlines following announcements that she may have been pregnant via artificial insemination, but that was false. Ching Ching and Chia Chia did not produce any cubs. Ching Ching is on display at the National Museum of Scotland
