The highly anticipated Yellow Rubber Duck made its appearance last Thursday (the 19th) at Kaohsiung’s Glory Pier, attracting over 200,000 visitors on the first day. However, due to the approaching Typhoon Usagi, it was deflated at noon on the 20th to avoid the storm. Yesterday (the 22nd) at 15:00, it returned to Glory Pier, once again drawing 150,000 visitors to witness its inflation show. Since its unveiling, at least 350,000 people have visited Glory Pier in Kaohsiung to catch a glimpse of Asia’s largest and the world’s second-largest Yellow Rubber Duck.
