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.
