Chinese New Year in KL, part 2 - Avenue K

Avenue K has these put up.

This is the big installation in the main area


Decorations outside

Chinese mandarin orange tree


Interesting thing about the Chinese traditions - food may have special significance during Chinese New Year because of the way the Chinese word for it sounds. Tangerines and oranges are passed out freely during Chinese New Year as the words for tangerine and orange sound like luck and wealth, respectively.

There is also a golden shiny disco ball horse

Chinese New Year in KL, part 1 - Pavilion

With Chinese New Year just a few days away I decided to post a few photos of decorations around central Kuala Lumpur. 

This is how they have transformed the Centre Court of Pavilion which is one of the central malls in KL. 






On a scale from 1 to 10 where 10 is the best, how would you rate the decorations of Pavilion? More more about what CNY is all about & posts with photos to follow.
