Escalators and platforms are full of duck tracks

The Rubber Duck MTR Art Tour sets sail from Admiralty Station to different communities, covering a total of 24 MTR stations. Among them, Admiralty Station, as the starting point of a pair of 18-meter-tall giant rubber ducks swimming on Victoria Harbour, has been transformed into a rubber duck-themed station - platforms, stairs, escalators, walls and other locations are full of duckling tracks, as large as a whole rubber duck, as small as water droplets, footprints and other designs.

Located at Exit E of Admiralty Station, the 6-metre-high × 24.5-meter-wide semi-circular glass skylight transforms into a duck face of a lively elf, using semi-transparent stickers, becoming the largest outdoor public art installation in MTR, echoing the original intention of artist Hoffman, attracting the attention of busy urbanites with an infinitely enlarged childlike heart, encouraging passengers to stop and feel and savor life for a moment.
