Aoyu is an auspicious creature from ancient Chinese mythology, with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish. It is the transitional form of a carp that has leaped through the Dragon Gate but not yet fully transformed into a Loong aka Chinese dragon. Featuring a multi‑chamber balloon design with a bionic structure, it is equipped with color‑changing sensors, appearing light and elegant, capturing the mythical imagery of roaming freely across the sky and sea.
