Taiwan’s second largest city has announced plans to display a larger version of the giant inflatable yellow duck that captivated Hong Kong — upstaging similar plans by another city on the island.
In a surprise announcement, the southern city of Kaohsiung said an 18-metre-tall (59-foot) version of the duck created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman will go on show for a month, beginning in September.
This will be around three months earlier than the start of a similar duck exhibit planned by Keelung, a port city in the north bordering the capital Taipei.
Keelung announced last month it had signed an agreement with Hofman to create its own duck, also 18 metres tall, for public display around mid-December.
Keelung city council speaker Huang Jing-tai declined to comment Tuesday on Kaohsiung’s upset move.
“I don’t want to compare Keelung with other cities,” Huang told AFP.
“The yellow duck represents welfare, happiness and peace. By introducing it to the city, I hope it can bring our citizens the feeling of happiness.”
