Lunar New Year Décor in the Malls

The Lunar New Year is almost upon us and a quick visit to the shopping malls is a must. Not only to do some last minute shopping but also to take photos of the creative décor that malls come up with.
In all the malls, the predominant color is RED.

Red is the color of prosperity and good luck. So red lanterns in all sorts of shapes and sizes are everywhere. Then there are the flowers, red, pink, yellow, red….peonies and this year hydrangeas have made their entrance, apart from orchids.

Early visitors get the opportunity to take photos without having people blocking their views.

It is also customary for a mall to schedule lion dances to entertain their visitors during the weekend in this festive season. Families with young children and adults alike are prepared to wait patiently for the lion dancers to set up their props. Then the drums begin and the lions spring into life. The lion dancers are very nimble and agile as they prance atop the raised posts, drawing gasps and admiration from the spectators.
