Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Two giant pandas are expected to arrive in Washington on Tuesday, continuing a decades-long culture exchange between China and the United States.

Bao Li and Qing Bao are expected to land at Washington Dulles International Airport on their way to the Smithsonian National Zoo. The pandas are on loan from China after the country recalled two giant pandas previously on loan.
