This is Falcor. Well, I'm sure that's not his real name, but I decided to name him after the Good Luck Dragon from Neverending Story. It fits, I think.
Most people don't even know he exists. I'll tell people about the "hou2 daai6 gum1 lung4" near the Aberdeen Tunnel, and usually they don't know about him. But to my family, he's very special. We always say we'll meet at the dragon or when we're coming home we'll text each other that we're by the dragon. He's a fixture. But then again, if you don't regularly go through the Aberdeen Tunnel, I could see how you would miss him.
There's a plaque near Falcor. I guess it's telling about how this golden dragon got there, but I can't read it since it's all in Chinese. One day, maybe I will.
So if you ever find yourself on a bus or taxi heading towards the Aberdeen Tunnel, look up from your phone for a moment and say hi. He'll be waiting!

I like comments just as much as fresh guacamole and chips! Well, maybe not quite that much...
