Giant duck to exit after drawing the crowds

The 18-meter-tall rubber duck on display in Beijing since September has lured increasing numbers of visitors to the capital from around the country.

The creation of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman will bid farewell to the capital from Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace on Sunday.

Li Linji, deputy head of the palace, one of two parks where the duck has been displayed in the city, said on Thursday it has clearly increased the number of visitors from around China.
