From giant cat installations to murals, Hong Kong’s Easter holiday has seen a surge in feline presence over the traditional rabbit.
Stealing the limelight were a gigantic ginger cat greeting travellers at the arrival hall of Hong Kong International Airport and three inflatable marmalade felines sprawled across a lawn at the West Kowloon Cultural District.
In Yau Ma Tei, local artist German Li and his students produced cat-themed murals by reinterpreting Vincent van Gogh’s classic painting The Starry Night.
At Silvermine Bay Hotel in Mui Wo, a one-floor-tall mural featured a three-dimensional cat sleeping and showing its belly.
Most of these installations sprang up in the past few days.
At the airport’s arrival hall, scores of people took selfies and pictures of the giant cat – measuring eight metres (26 feet) long, seven metres wide and 3.5 metres tall – with its moving ears and tail.
