11.5 meters tall and 6 tons in weight. This huge transformer is being put up at the north square of Beijing's Bird Nest. And believe it or not, it is all made of old auto parts.

这个巨型机器人11.5米高，重达6吨。在北京鸟巢的北广场上，它的创作者们正在对它进行组装。也许你都不敢相信，这个机器人完全是由旧的汽车部件拼成的！

Countless tires, steel plates, and hubs, it takes five trucks to transport the jumbo's components to the site. Assembling the two legs alone costs over two hours.

轮胎，钢板，轮毂...这个庞然大物的零件、外壳不计其数，完全运过来需雇五辆卡车。光是对它的两条腿进行组装就花了2个多小时。

As one of the promo activities of the Green Dream Park, it showcases an example for the theme of Green Innovation, Green Fashion and Green Life that the Dream Park firmly supports.
