Unique Phôt of the Gymer Transformed Into the God of Wealth

 


Wishing for luck and fortune, young man Tran Thien Bao (26 years old), working as a fitness trainer, transformed into Than Tai - a deity in belief culture. The icon brings money, wealth...

In recent days, the image of Bao transformed into the God of Wealth, which has become a hit on social networks. Boo said it took about a week to prepare clothes and accessories for this disguise.

"I want to take a special set of photos to preserve memories of the Lunar New Year 2024. I chose the God of Wealth clothing to dress up because this is a familiar god to every household, associated with luck and fortune. I also want to bring a little joy to the people struggling to make a living on the streets," Bao shared.

Bao dressed up, took photos and brought 50 lottery tickets to give to workers in a market, on December 24 of the lunar calendar. “I give away lottery tickets because I hope everyone around me will have luck. The God of Wealth is a god present in many families, whether poor or rich, we all deserve to receive good luck in the New Year," Bao shared.

In his makeup, Bao cleverly showed off his muscular, toned body. Bao said it was the result of non-stop training for 8 years. Before having his current desirable body, Bao was a guy with low self-esteem about his skinny appearance, weighing 52 kg while being 1.75 meters tall. At the beginning of training, Bao had to overcome a lot of psychological pressure and suffered injuries when practising with incorrect technique. Currently, Bao has a perfect body with a weight of 70 kg.

One day before the opening, the giant dragon mascots with swaying heads and "roaring" sounds on Nguyen Hue Flower Street, District 1, were completed, and many miniatures took shape.

The highlight is the pair of dragon mascots at the beginning of Nguyen Hue Street, near the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. The pair of dragons called Two Dragon Trieu Lien has been completed, winding and intertwining symmetrically on the flower road, creating a highlight for visitors.

Each dragon is about 120 meters long, setting a record for the size of mascots appearing on the flower street in the past 21 years. The dragon's bodies are colourful and crisscrossed over 10 meters high, creating a beautifully decorated ceiling.

The two dragon heads have a majestic appearance. The head size is about 2 m, 3 m higher than the ground. The pearl-holding dragon's mouth, 50 cm in diameter, is simulated with opaque mica plastic, containing a light inside. Inside the neck is a sound system and door gears to make sounds and sway to welcome visitors.

At the end of the flower street is a dragon in the grand scene of Nhat Dai Thang Long, with an area covering more than 1,000 m2, winding around. More than 90% of the materials used to create the mascot are made from bamboo, rattan, and bamboo fan blinds, which are environmentally friendly.
