The Flower Street makes a strong impression on visitors with a front-gate featuring a pair of Dragons Flanking Lotuses, the mascot of 2024.
The dragons have a record size of more than 100m long and their head circumference of more than 2m. Their mouths hold pearls while the heads can move and make roaring sound effect.
Phan Thi Diem Trang, a resident of District 1, said: “I’m very happy with the atmosphere here. There are a lot of visitors. The pair of Dragons winding in the air is very impressive and different from the mascots of previous years. I hope our country will also develop like the soaring dragon.”
