The 2.4-meter-tall figure attracted a lot of attention while it posed to eat snacks outdoors at a restaurant and get a haircut on the street.

The appearance of Bumblebee was to promote the movie of the same name, which came out in the city on Friday.

The Bumblebee suit was said to be worth nearly 20,000 yuan ($2,900) and took the person inside almost 20 minutes to put it on.
