The latest creation of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, a huge white rabbit, will meet the public on Thursday during a festival in Taiwan, local media reported.
The 25-meter-tall model was spotted reclining at an old aircraft hangar of the former Taoyuan Naval Base during a preview of the Taoyuan Land Arts Festival on Tuesday.
It resembles the real-life rabbit from Alice's Wonderland, surrounded by blue sky and grassland, according to tourists who attended the preview.
The giant rabbit faces towards the sky, so people hardly see its face, except via bird's-eye view.
Made of waterproof paper, wood and styrofoam, the rabbit can withstand both sunshine and rain, but may fall victim to typhoons, the report stated.
Workers are still in a rush to complete details, it added.
Hofman's creation, amongst many of his giant animal work, aims to arouse happiness and draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese legend of Chang'e and Jade Rabbit.
