A giant rubber duck that made up one half of an art installation duo in Hong Kong returned on Monday after a two-day break for checks and repairs, much to the delight of local fans and tourists.

One duck was deflated on Saturday – the first day of the showing – after the studio behind “The Double Ducks by Florentijn Hofman” found parts of its surface had tightened in the hot weather.
After spending Sunday at a dockyard in Tsing Yi where workers repaired the duck, it was towed back to Victoria Harbour on Monday morning and inflated just after noon.
Visitors at Tamar Park in Admiralty said it was a pleasant surprise to see the giant yellow ducks together again, and wasted no time snapping shots of the reunited duo.
