Giant rubber duck graces Shanghai

Florentijn Hofman's giant rubber duck has finally touched down at the Jingtian Lake in Pudong District's Century Park.

In its whirlwind tour of Asia, installations of the duck have already appeared in Hangzhou, Hong Kong and Beijing. While it has spawned a number of imitators, Shanghai's long-awaited unveiling of the authentic duck installment has excited visitors.

The duck will remain at the park until November 23rd. During the duck's much ballyhooed residency, park officials plan to quadruple the park's admission fee, as it's part of a month-long cultural program that features another 14 exhibitions.

It's also time for the harvest. Some Shanghai citizens chose to take a trip to the suburbs, where a great harvest is happening at the farms. Visitors not only see picturesque views, but also get their hands dirty. The golden rice paddies truly open up their senses.

It's estimated that there will be nearly 800 kg of rice per hectare at the farms, another great year. Visitors also get to see the production line where the rice is packed and readied for the market.
