Xingrong and Xingya, two of the six pandas bred in captivity, have received medical check-ups before being released into an enclosed forest in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The pandas, aged two to four, will be released into the "Panda Valley" - 134 hectares of enclosed forest, which is also known as the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Release Research Centre.
It is a major step forward in the country's drive to send the endangered animals back into the wild.
The six pandas were carefully selected from 108 pandas living at the Chengdu panda base.
Zoologists believe releasing giant pandas into the wild will reduce the risk of inbreeding among the animals' wild partners. In addition, researchers are confident that the rate of survival will be high.
