In the days leading up to the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026, people, in addition to buying flowers and ornamental plants for Tet decoration, also go to places that display mascots according to the zodiac sign of the year to take photos.
This year's horse mascot is being "competed" and discussed excitedly by localities. In Rach Gia ward, An Giang province, a herd of 10 horses in Phu Gia square attracted many people to admire and take check-in photos.
Ms. Duong Ngoc Loan, a resident of Rach Gia ward, shared: "Every year my family goes to take photos with mascots and Tet decoration points. This year, I realize that the horse herd here is too magnificent, 10 horses have different shapes, different facial expressions, looking very strong, very beautiful.
Mr. Tran Van Thanh, a resident of Rach Gia ward, exclaimed: "Personally, I find the horse mascot here very charismatic, spirited, and magnificent. The herd of 10 horses creates an image, a courageous spirit, and also carries the meaning of praying for success. Each province has mascots decorated in different styles, bringing different beauty".
A cluster of yellow horses reaching high on a brilliant red background symbolizes "Ma dao thanh cong" (Success upon arrival). 10 mascots are arranged harmoniously, of which 5 pairs are arranged symmetrically, carefully calculated in terms of viewing angles, ensuring balance and continuity for the whole scene.
The total cost for the entire event is about 20 billion VND; the flower street and mascot item alone is worth more than 7 billion VND. Each mascot is made of composite, 3.8m wide, 2.4m high; the total value of 10 horses is more than 850 million VND.
Around the large scene are spring flower clusters, artistic miniatures combined with lighting systems, creating a brilliant but still intimate space.
