Crowds of people watch the Da Nang dragon mascot 'spray water and fire'

TPO - Every night, locals and tourists gather at Da Nang's Tet flower street to wait for the moment the dragon mascot "breathes fire and water" to the music.

These days, around 7-8pm, Da Nang's Tet flower street (along Bach Dang Street, Hai Chau District) is bustling with locals and tourists to admire and check-in with the unique dragon mascots. In particular, the place where the dragon mascot can "spit water and fire" on the west bank of Dragon Bridge is always crowded with people.

Although the area is still fenced off to continue construction, people, especially children, still patiently line up outside the fence to wait for the dragon to start swaying and "spit water and fire".

This dragon mascot is inspired by the architecture of Dragon Bridge - one of the iconic bridges of Da Nang with its characteristic yellow color and unique joint design.

LED lights are arranged along the dragon's body to glow at night. The mascot is arranged in a miniature landscape with bright yellow chrysanthemum pots, ocean wave symbols around the dragon's belly and a lighting system.

During the "water and fire" process, the dragon's head can sway up and down, left and right to the music. In addition, soap bubbles are blown from below, creating a romantic and magical scene.

The "fire and water" effect is created by steam and a color-changing light system installed in the dragon's mouth. The water spray effect is created by bright white lights.

The fire effect is created by steam combined with bright red light.

These special effects are inspired by the water and fire spraying activities at 9pm every weekend to serve the people and tourists at Dragon Bridge. Since "going to the streets", this "baby dragon" mascot has become hot on social networks and is considered the mascot of the Year of the Dragon.   has the most unique design this year.

The magical dragon mascot, looming behind the colorful smoke, behind is the Dragon Bridge - the symbolic bridge of Da Nang. Many locals and tourists are willing to wait for hours to capture these unique moments.

Having just returned from Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate Tet, Ms. Dinh Thi Anh Thu (31 years old, Lien Chieu district, Da Nang) made an appointment with her friends to go to the flower street to see this "one-of-a-kind" dragon mascot. "These days, every time I see pictures and videos on Facebook, I feel very excited and busy, so I have to stop by right away when I get home. During Tet, I will be even more excited if I see the big dragon and the small dragon spraying water and fire together," Ms. Thu said.

Currently, the items of Da Nang flower street have been completed, lit up and ready to serve people and tourists on the occasion of the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin.

Da Nang's Tet Flower Street will open to the public from February 8 (the 28th day of the 12th lunar month). It is expected that during the Lunar New Year, this area will attract tens of thousands of visitors to visit, enjoy the Spring Festival and take photos with miniature landscapes and dozens of large and small dragon mascots.
