The mecha figures are inspired by the "Five Tiger Generals", legendary military commanders in Chinese history, reimagined with modern mecha-style armor. Their bold, colorful designs immediately caught the crowd's attention.
During the parade, the five tigers interacted with visitors, dancing to music and giving high-fives and fist bumps. This playful mix of traditional culture and futuristic design added an extra sense of fun and energy to the festival, leaving a lasting impression on attendees.
