Starting September 19, a giant rubber duck will float on the waters of Kaohsiung Harbor in southern Taiwan. Since it was designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in 2007 several versions of this giant yellow duck, which is inflated with air, have been seen floating about in different cities around the world, including Sao Paulo, Osaka, Auckland and, most recently, Hong Kong. The artist’s aim in creating the duck has simply been to “spread joy around the world.” The duck will be on display in Kaohsiung Harbor near Guangrong Pier for about a month, and is expected to draw more than 3 million visitors to the harbor.
