As the Year of the Horse 2026 approaches, the gateway to Tan Son Nhat International Airport - a hub welcoming hundreds of thousands of travelers daily - is being transformed. The Menas - Tan Son Hoa Spring flower street unveils a bold new look centered around a powerful icon: The horse mascot - Saint Giong, a symbol of national strength and the ambition to soar in a new era.
Far more than a traditional zodiac animal, the horse at Menas is portrayed through the legendary image of Saint Giong atop his iron steed. Captured in a dynamic leap, the mascot represents the spirit of "growing at the speed of light" - maturing through internal strength and charging toward new horizons.
In Asian culture, the horse signifies speed, endurance, and relentless progress. At the 2026 flower street, the mascot is depicted in full gallop with hooves flying and head held high, mirroring a Vietnam that is dynamic, confident, and ready for a breakthrough.
Menas elevates the zodiac theme by invoking the legend of Saint Giong, the youthful hero who transformed from a village boy into a mighty warrior to defend the nation. It is a story of latent potential, timely rising, and historic leaps. The theme “The Rise of Saint Giong” is more than a cultural tribute; it is a declaration.
Situated at the city’s international gateway, the mascot serves as a new year’s greeting to the world, signaling that Vietnam is entering an era of unprecedented growth.
From a foundation of stability, Vietnam is proactively integrating into the global community, achieving breakthroughs in economy, technology, and services, and solidifying its position on the regional and global map. The figure of Saint Giong is therefore not just a myth, but a metaphor for the nation's journey in this new stage of development.
Menas ready for the 2026 - 2030 breakthrough
This year marks the fifth anniversary of the Menas - Tan Son Hoa Spring flower street, a milestone that affirms our resilience and commitment to the community. Over the past five years, Menas has built a robust ecosystem across property management, modern retail, and F&B chains.
The 2026 - 2030 period
is defined as a phase of acceleration, expansion, and breakthrough, embodying
the Saint Giong spirit by scaling up operations, standardizing service
excellence, and expanding the commercial ecosystem. If the first five years
were dedicated to gathering strength, 2026 is the moment of the great rise, and
2026 – 2030 will be a high-speed journey toward the future.
