According to the Management Board of Investment and Construction Projects of Civil and Industrial Works of Da Nang City, the overall project has a harmonious facade and is connected with the surrounding status, the landscape design creates unity and is suitable for the scale and nature of the project.

With the characteristics of decorative points, miniature landscapes, and mascots located in open spaces, visitors can approach from many directions, so the design team established simple architectural forms with clear vertical and horizontal divisions. The entire project is unified, diverse in shape and color to create beautiful views from all directions, bringing high integration between architectural blocks and the surrounding landscape, creating a beautiful highlight for urban architecture.

Therefore, no matter the angle or shooting angle, locals and tourists can get unique check-in photos.

In addition, with design inspiration from the snake mascot, flower arrangements, miniature landscapes, etc. all have many soft, curvy lines.

Currently, at 14 Tet flower decoration locations, Minh Tuan Tu Consulting and Construction Company Limited has mobilized 60 workers, engineers, equipment and vehicles to race against schedule.

Among them, the items that are especially taken care of are the locations of the snake mascot - the symbol of the year of At Ty. These are also the most checked-in spots.

Snake mascot with rich shapes

The main mascot is located south of the Dragon Bridge in Hai Chau District (opposite the Cham Museum). Here, winding flower paths lead to a central cluster of flowers, where the snake mascot is placed. This snake mascot is being constructed by artisan Dinh Van Tam ( Quang Tri ) in Quang Tri and is expected to be transported to Da Nang City for installation tomorrow (January 14th).

According to the design, the main mascot is shaped like a 5m high cobra, with a 2.6m wide hood and a wide, winding body on a 6.35 x 4.6m area. The construction materials include an iron frame inside, the main material is foam, the snake scales are covered with materials to create realism, softness and a shimmering golden color, as if covered with a layer of golden armor.

Another cobra mascot with a similar shape but smaller in scale (3m high, 4.5m wide, 4m deep) is placed at the T-bridge.

If the west bank of Hai Chau district is decorated with majestic snake mascots, then on the east bank of Han river, Dragon bridge area (Son Tra district side) is decorated with snake mascots designed based on inspiration from children's cartoons with funny lines and shapes.

Snake eggs, snakes in Chibi style… this place promises to be a whimsical garden that will surely delight young children.

In addition, the spring flower garden also has models of "Spring Lady", shepherds, children dancing lion dance, dragon dance... recreating the countryside Tet with peaceful and happy images.

Mr. Tran Minh Hien (71 years old, living in Hai Chau District) said that in recent days, the area around Dragon Bridge and Bach Dang Street has been visited by many people following the progress of Tet flower construction, waiting to visit when the decoration spots open for business.

“The Tet decoration spaces are not only places to take photos but also connect people and tourists, are places to “attract” the Tet atmosphere, bring positive energy to everyone, and help the city start a new year of prosperity and peace. So I think this is where everyone looks forward to and comes to visit,” said Mr. Hien.
