As the Little Yellow Duck’s exhibition in Kaohsiung nears its end, Lai Rui-long, director of the Kaohsiung City Government’s Information Bureau, stated that to allow all citizens and visitors to jointly bid farewell to the duck, the closing ceremony will officially begin at 16:00 on the 20th. The exhibition team has prepared two tugboats, one work vessel, and arranged for divers to connect towing cables to the duck’s floating platform underwater. After the closing ceremony performances, around 16:30, the duck will be towed back to Pier-2 Art Center from Glory Pier. Subsequent steps including hoisting it ashore, deflating it, and packing it up are planned to be completed by 18:00.
In addition, during the two holiday periods from October 10–13 and October 19–20, free shuttle buses will start earlier at 10:00, with increased frequency during peak hours—running as often as every 5 minutes. The inner lanes of Youth Road (between Zhonghua Road and Haibian Road) in both directions, and the westbound inner lane of Youth Road (between Zhongshan Road and Zhonghua Road) will be designated as public transport-only lanes. Except for shuttles, coaches, buses, taxis, and emergency vehicles, other vehicles are prohibited from using these lanes, and left turns by cars will be banned at intersections along the route.
