At first, I saw them near an advertisement for some sort of children's amusement park, so I thought perhaps the bunnies were the mascots, and they were providing extra-visible publicity for the park opening or something.

Therefore, I realized that the bunny statuettes are also supposed to be part of the Mid-Autumn Festival decorations, representing the white rabbit that is supposed to be the pet of the moon goddess. At the New Century bus stop, they even have some that are playing instruments, like this one:

For whatever reason the bunnies are there, they made me laugh in the middle of a crowded morning commute, so it's all good =D
Agenda for this weekend: Fulbright retreat at the Kadoorie Institute in HK!
