Zoo keepers thanked the panda cub for bringing joy and the fans for the love they had shown Fu Bao in the four years she spent growing up at the Everland zoo. She was then put on a climate-controlled truck to take her to the airport. "It was a miracle to meet you. Thank you, Fu Bao," read a message attached to photographs of the panda that covered the vehicle. Fu Bao, which means lucky treasure, had been in quarantine for a month and did not appear before the public. "This day has really come ... the day you are beginning a long journey for the next part of your life," zoo keeper Kang Cher-won, who had been caring for Fu Bao, said in a farewell message.
