Rubber Ducky Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong June 2013


The giant rubber duck arrived the Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor! This 54-foot-tall inflatable duck has a really remarkable impact to the media. The South China Morning Post devoting quite a bit of attention to the city's new resident. "A duck craze has taken over, the latest of many periodic fads to inundate Hong Kong. But it is different. It is gratuitously nice, and fun, for no discernible reason, a near miracle in this city."

The World's largest rubber duck was created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in 2007, measuring 16.5 x 20 x 32 metres and weighing over 600 kg. Since 2007, several ducks of various sizes created by Hofman have been on display in countries such as Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Lommel (Belgium), Osaka (Japan), Sydney (Australia), Sao Paulo (Brazil) and it finally arrives Hong Kong on 9 June 2013 . Then it will go on display in the US. Hofman entertained the world by a tour named "Spreading joy around the world". He aimed to recall everyone's childhood memories. The giant rubber duck was constructed with more than 200 pieces of PVC piping. There is an opening at the back of the body so that architecture/staff can perform body check to the rubber duck; as well as an electric fan that allows it to be inflated under various weather conditions.
