The two giant pandas presented to Hong Kong by the central government - An An and Ke Ke - have completed their month-long isolation period.

The Ocean Park said on Saturday that the pair's health conditions have met the requirements of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department.

But it will take at least another 30 days before the public can meet the pandas, as they are still adapting to their new home.

The park revealed that the duo enjoy tailor-made facilities at their habitats.

Separately, the public is invited to suggest new names for the giant pandas until tomorrow. Participants have to submit their proposals along with a 100-word explanation.

A drawing competition for people to portray the pandas will last until November 8.
