|About the Magnificent Dragon Series|
In 2024, we welcome the Year of the Dragon, a time filled with hope and vitality.
To celebrate this special occasion, Aqua Vitae proudly presents the Dragon Turns the World Around series,
featuring three dragons, each representing a unique blessing and vision:
the Golden Dragon from the sky, the Red Dragon from fire, and the Black Dragon from the earth.
The dragon is not only a legendary symbol of prosperity but also embodies our aspirations for the future.
The Golden Dragon represents light and hope, shining like the golden rays of dawn.
The Red Dragon signifies boundless passion and the power of renewal,
much like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The Black Dragon embodies resilience and strength,
as steadfast and unwavering as the earth itself.
With the Magnificent Dragon series, we wish you great fortune in the Year of the Dragon,
soaring high like an auspicious dragon among the clouds!
