Since mid-December, images of two giant statues with unique shapes at a tourist area in Do Son, Hai Phong have attracted the attention of social networks. According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters at noon on December 19, the two statues have basically been completed.

Dang hinh cua tuong nam la mat va nguoi huong ve phia truoc, tay dua ve phia sau, nguoi day hoa tiet giong re cay.

The two statues stand tall in the middle of the vast river, on both sides of the wharf in the tourist area. Locals liken them to two "forest gods" when they are "dressed" in the green of the leaves. The male statue is about 14 meters tall, with a large, muscular body.

The male statue's figure has eyes and body facing forward, hands reaching back, and body covered with tree root motifs.

The statue of the female “forest goddess” is smaller in shape, about 12 m tall. The “goddess” stands upright, her arms pointing back, her eyes looking straight ahead. Around her body are tree roots, white flowers symbolizing tree roots and flowers in the mangrove forest.

The facial features of the "goddess" statue are also more elegant than the male statue. Mr. Tran Truong, a resident of Hai Phong City, said: "On my way to Do Son for exercise, I found my way to see the two statues that were making a stir on social networks. The two statues are now completed, more beautiful and more expressive than the online photos. I hope that this area will soon have unique and attractive tourism products."
