According to the reporter of Giao Thong Newspaper, by February 1, the giant pair of "twin dragons" - the mascots of the year of the Dragon 2024 at the Spring Festival space in the ancient capital of Hue - had clearly revealed their shape and were gradually being completed.
The pair of dragon mascot statues welcoming the Year of the Dragon in Hue are arranged at the Quoc Hoc stele area on Le Loi Street on the south bank of the Huong River, opposite the gate of Quoc Hoc High School for the Gifted - Hue.
Here, the mascot of the Year of the Dragon stands out with two flying dragons, which is also the welcome gate and the highlight of the Hue City Spring Festival space in 2024, being installed by construction units.
The heads of the mascots stretch high, showing the aspiration for Hue City to develop in the year of the Dragon.
The mascot of the Year of the Dragon 2024 in Hue is inspired by the dragon of the Nguyen Dynasty, with two giant dragons arranged in the style of "two dragons facing the moon" - two dragons winding opposite each other.
Each "giant" dragon mascot that is wriggling and flying here is more than 30m long.
The dragon body is made of round steel frame.
On the dragon's body, thousands of overlapping dragon scales are installed, simulating the way of roofing with blue glazed tiles, a type of tile commonly used for palaces, tombs and temples in the ancient capital of Hue.

A short distance from the pair of “giant” dragons, the fountain area of Ly Tu Trong Park opposite the headquarters of the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province also has a mascot of the Year of the Dragon under construction, inspired by the National Seal of Trust, a precious treasure of the Nguyen Dynasty royal palace.
The dragon mascot at the fountain area of Ly Tu Trong Park is nearly 5m high, shaped like a flying figure with a majestic and leisurely aura among the blue clouds, as a wish for a good and prosperous new year. There is also an image of a school of carp jumping over the dragon gate, along with trees and flowers symbolizing clouds and hundreds of flowers blooming.
