Iconic Rubber Duck Returns To HK With Its Buddy

A giant, inflatable rubber duck that made a splash in Victoria Harbour and ignited a frenzy in the city ten years ago is returning to the city – but this time, it's also bringing its buddy along.

The 18-metre-tall ducks were inflated in a Tsing Yi dockyard on Thursday morning, and took a dip in nearby waters.

The event organiser said it will release more information on June 1 as to when and where the two ducks will go on display.

The iconic ducks are part of Dutch artist Florentjin Hofman’s Rubber Duck Project aimed at spreading healing power and bringing joy to people.

His ducks had made appearances in many cities around the world, including Seoul, Osaka and Toronto.
