The entire body of the dragon is decorated with lights, glowing at night, and its mouth holds a shining pearl. This dragon mascot is inspired by the image of a dragon holding a pearl, curled up, hiding in the clouds.

This is a symbol of perseverance, confidence and waiting for luck without losing modesty. The layers of fresh flowers covering the dragon's body like clouds, both increase the artistry and create the scene of the dragon flying to the sky.
