The provincial People's Committee has issued Plan No. 03/KH-UBND for the construction of two snake mascots to welcome the Year of the Snake 2025.
The mascots are expected to create a joyful atmosphere, attract visitors to Hoa Binh city and Hoa Binh province on the occasion of the Lunar New Year holiday, and showcase the province’s significant socio-economic achievements in 2024.
With the theme "Hoa Binh - Steadfastly Moving Forward", the mascot design is inspired by images of workers at the Hoa Binh hydropower plant who perform the mission of continuing the glorious history of past generations of officials, soldiers, experts, and workers in service of the nation’s electricity.
The mascots will be prominently displayed against a backdrop of the Hoa Binh province logo, standing 6.5 metres tall at the centre, with a depiction of the Hoa Binh dam below it, illustrated vividly with a steam effect.
The bodies of the two snake mascots symbolise a future electrical cable system and the mission to moving fowards. They convey meanings of good luck, positive energy and adaptation to all circumstances while reflecting the Hoa Binh youth's aspiration to seize opportunities and overcome challenges to build a prosperous Hoa Binh province, contributing to the development of the nation in a new era.
They will have an average height of 5 metres, with lighting effects. Entrance will be an impressive stylised lotus flower gate flanked by two lines of peach trees and cheerful child characters dressed in traditional costumes of ethnic groups in Hoa Binh province.
The construction of the mascots was planned to take place from January 9 to 22. They will be displayed from January 22 to February 12, 2025 at Hoa Binh Square.
