Commanding the summit of Chuong Gio Hill in Binh Dien Ward, Hue City, the majestic white horse mascot stands as a stunning centerpiece for 2006 – Year of The Horse. Captured in a dynamic leap above rugged cliffs and billowing clouds, the stallion’s pure white form symbolizes nobility, freedom, and a pioneering spirit. Every detail is expertly crafted, from the mane that flows like mountain mist to the golden apricot blossom in its mouth – a delicate nod to the arrival of Spring. This artwork embodies the “Success is Coming” (Ma Dao Thanh Cong) philosophy, reflecting the resilience and vibrant energy of the Hue people as they welcome the new year.
Reaching this iconic landmark is a journey in itself along the “path of wind and clouds.” Unlike ordinary concrete roads, this trail was carefully hand-laid with river stones by dedicated volunteers, creating a soul-stirring passage that links youthful passion with the peaceful beauty of the highland forest.
