After being shown in Beijing at the grand parade marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the float from Northeast China’s Liaoning has returned to Shenyang, the province’s capital city.

It is now on display in front of the Liaoning Provincial Library in the capital and has quickly become a hit with the locals.

The float, with a width of six meters, length of 15 m and height of 10 m, was made by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.
