Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman's massive inflatable Rubber Duck will float into Beijing on September 6, the Beijing Design Week's organizing committee said on Wednesday.

The popular Rubber Duck, which has toured 13 cities in ten countries, will debut at the capital city's Garden Expo Park on September 6, and stay there until September 23. Then it will meet visitors at the Summer Palace from September 26 to October 26.

The rubber duck is 18 meters tall, making it larger than its 16.5-meter version displayed in Hong Kong, according to Zeng Hui, vice director of the organizing committee office. It's a present from Amsterdam, this year's Beijing Design Week Guest of Honor.

Both parks will not raise ticket prices during the duck's visit.
