The "Happy Deer" mascot, a beloved landmark outside the Nantou Motor Vehicles Office in Taiwan, has returned after undergoing repairs. The cheerful figure, also known as "Guangming Deer," had previously toppled over due to prolonged exposure to the elements.

The mascot, situated on Guangming 1st Road in Nantou City, had been a popular photo opportunity for visitors. However, earlier this year, it fell from its base, prompting the Motor Vehicles Office to send it for a "beauty treatment."

After more than a month of restoration work, the "Happy Deer" has made a dazzling comeback. Its appearance is now described as "water-like shiny," with vibrant colors on its body and clothing, presenting a completely refreshed image. Officials anticipate it will once again become a highlight for visitors to take pictures with.

The restoration aims to bring back the charm of the mascot and ensure it continues to serve as a welcoming and engaging feature for the public visiting the Nantou Motor Vehicles Office.
