Tens of thousands of people packed Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday to say goodbye to the giant rubber duck on its last day in town.
In the morning, the Chan family enjoyed their first encounter with the duck. Halas Chan, eight, said: "I want to see how the giant duck works." The boy also guided his sister Halina, three, on how to create the appearance of touching the duck in a photo.
Many chose to capture their last moments with the 16.5-metre inflatable sculpture through photos, but a group of children opted to do so with crayons.
Sharon Lee Hiu-tung, 11, said she believed the hardest part to draw would be the feet, but the duck did not show its feet.
"I want to buy a bathtub duck to take home. I also want to make one with clay," she said.
Many were sad to see Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman's , which arrived on May 2, deflated at midnight.
