With Chinese New Year around the corner, Malaysians everywhere are preparing to usher in the Year of the Dog. That means the annual spring cleaning and of course, shopping for new clothes and Chinese New Year goodies! If you’re heading out for your annual new year shopping trip, there’s this one mall that went out of their way to make it a memorable one for all Malaysians because… just look at their decor!
Aptly themed the ‘Wind of Blessings’, Sunway Putra Mall’s Main Concourse is transformed into an oriental mandarin orange garden adorned with pinwheels and majestic lanterns. They even have an indoor pond and traditional pagoda to boot! Perfect for an Insta-worthy photo op!
Shoppers can stroll along the garden-scape and take in the lush greenery all while surrounded by the fresh scent of citrus. Besides that, there are many activities in store for shoppers all month long such as:
