A panda-themed ferry made its debut at Victoria Harbour on Wednesday, marking the upcoming first birthday of Hong Kong's first-ever locally born giant panda twins Jia Jia and De De on Friday.

As part of a series of celebratory acitivities launched by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the Hong Kong Tourism Board and Ocean Park Hong Kong, the ferry enables  the public to join in the special milestone for the panda twins and create lasting memories with the cherished pandas.

China Daily's Edmond Tang took the photos on Wednesday.
