Beijing rubber duck bigger than HK version

A GIANT rubber duck will float to Beijing on September 6, Beijing Design Week’s organizing committee announced today at news conference.

The Beijing-version rubber duck will be 1.5 meters higher than the Hong Kong one and reach 18 meters.

Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman's famous creation will first sail to Beijing Garden Expo Park and stay for 17 days. Then it will be shown in the Summer Palace, the former royal garden, for a month starting on September 26.

Neither park will raise entrance fees during the exhibition.

The committee described the duck as a present from Amsterdam, a guest city for 2013 Beijing Design Week.
