The colourful space of Tet flower streets features miniature scenes of the Dragon mascot and colourful flowers along both banks of the Han River.

The Dragon mascot symbol on the western bank of the Dragon Bridge can breathe fire, creating a new impression for both locals and tourists.

The Dragon mascot installed at the flower garden in Nam Duong Ward, Hai Chau District, was created by artist Dinh Van Tam from Quang Tri - who is famous for his lively zodiac animal mascot statues.
