Beijing Design Week will kick off on Thursday, with Florentijn Hofman's Rubber Duck landing in waters of the Summer Palace from Beijing's Garden Expo Park.

As one of the main attractions of the week, the Rubber Duck will continue to wow Beijing citizens. It also shows a unique modern design from Hofman's native Amsterdam - the guest city of the capital's design week.

The event invites a foreign city to present the city's design sensibilities to Beijing citizens each year.
