Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman's signature Rrubber Duck ended its one-month engagement at Summer Palace in Beijing on Sonday, attracting many visitors to catch one last glimpse of the 18-meter-tall artwork floating on the Kunming Lake. At 18:00 pm, the park was closed, and the duck began to deflate. It gradually lowered its head, seeming to kiss the lake goodbye.

The park received 2 million visitors in the last month, a 30 percent increase from a year ago.
