Mr. Ta Xuan Chanh - Director of the Department of Culture and Sports of Binh Dinh province - said that the dragon mascot symbol of Binh Dinh has the theme "Pride in the tradition of Father Dragon - Mother Fairy" based on the Vietnamese folk legend of Lac Long Quan and Au Co with a hundred eggs hatching a hundred children, expressing pride in the dragon-fairy race and the historical and cultural traditions of the Vietnamese people with the aspiration to become the "dragon" of the country and homeland of Binh Dinh.
