Despite the naysayers, there were others who appreciated the work behind the light-up.
A passer-by, surnamed Xu, praised the installation for its vivid colours and remarked that the rabbits' features were beautiful.
"These rabbits were designed by university students, and I think they did a good job. They're not considered professionals, but they put thought into the design. Although people will criticise their work, but there are parts which are done well," said the 60-year-old.
