Year of the Rooster In the Malls




Malls are always changing their décor to suit the festivals being celebrated. Different themes are planned and the music carefully chosen so that shoppers and visitors will linger longer and patronize the shops.
The Lunar Year of the Rooster saw many malls showcasing roosters and chickens in their themes.

Lanterns were also prevalent everywhere and they came in different shapes. However, the main color was red as red signifies prosperity and luck. Most Chinese people would don red apparel on the first day of the lunar new year.


The bigger malls have very nice décor and the smaller ones make do with  the resources at their disposal.

Big or small, the lion dance is usually a must-have event and it never ceases to thrill both young and old. The dances have become more acrobatic and the stunts draw collective oohs and ahhs and even gasps at particularly risky jumps from one post to another.
