However, sharp-eyed visitors who go to see the duck in Beijing in September might notice that it seems a bit smaller? This is because “Duck Dad” Hofman adjusts the size and structure of the duck according to the environmental conditions of the exhibition location. The duck that played in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour reached 16.5 meters, but the Beijing lake area requires a custom-made version, which will appear at around 10 meters in size.
As for the duck’s play area this time, it is expected to be in the waters within Beijing’s Third Ring Road. The Third Ring Road is somewhat similar to the ring-shaped area encircled by Taichung’s Fengyuan Boulevard. Inside the ring is Beijing’s bustling economic and trade commercial district, which also includes the China Millennium Monument built to welcome the new millennium, as well as Yuyuantan Park, which spans over 100 hectares and has nearly 200,000 trees. Going further inside the Second Ring Road, visitors can also explore the Temple of Heaven, the world’s largest existing complex of structures dedicated to heaven worship and used by emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Tiananmen Square, offering tourists a quintessentially Chinese duck-chasing journey.
