Today is the 12th day of Chinese New Year (CNY). In a few more days, the celebration will be over. In fact, most shopping malls in Klang Valley have already taken down the Chinese New Year decorations.
If you missed them, don't fret - you can still see some photos I have taken : )
For the CNY decorations at 1Utama, Gardens Mall and Mid Valley Megamall, click Part 1.
For the CNY decorations at Tropicana City Mall, Paradigm Mall and Sunway Pyramid, click Part 2.
For this final Part, let me share with you the CNY decorations at several malls in the rebranded area in Kuala Lumpur called bbKLCC.
This is the area that covers the shopping and entertainment outlets from Suria KLCC all the way to Pavilion, Lot 10 and Berjaya Times Square in the Bukit Bintang area.
I shall start first with Pavilion KL.
This year, the CNY decorations at Pavilion was a slight disappointment for me. I guess they could not top the huge, majestic dragon last year. I really liked that dragon a lot!!
However, the decorations here were still better than a lot of other malls. I thought the lion head on top of this mannequin was quite nice, although slightly weird. Haha.
I guess they recycled the mannequins from last year's Christmas which was not a bad thing actually.
Mannequin in red.
Huge fishes bringing prosperity! : )
Lots of red lanterns hanging from above.
I like the bridge and the giant ancient coin with the square hole in the middle!
Lots of people posing with the pair of lions! Had a hard time taking photos.
Yellow lanterns
Mannequins and fans
This is what you see from the area facing the main entrance. Love it!
Fishes, red lanterns and plum blossoms everywhere!
The theme for this year is 'Circles Of Prosperity'.
Outside the main entrance, the 12 animals of the Chinese Astrological signs were put up.
You may think I am crazy, but yes, I took a snapshot of each of the 12 animal signs. LOL!
Here goes....I shall also include the predictions for 2013 as stated on the notice below each animal. Please take the predictions with a pinch of salt : )

Aren't these animals cute? Which one you like best? Or maybe you like your own animal sign best? : )
There were many red lanterns hanging outside the main entrance. I wanted to count the number of lanterns from the top to the bottom in a single row, but I got dizzy doing it. LOL!
How do you like the Chinese New Year decoration at Pavilion KL this year?
Next, let's move on to the building opposite Pavilion - Starhill Gallery.
The hanging lanterns reminded me of the flying angels during last Christmas. Instead of angels, they had replaced them with lanterns.
I thought the lanterns were quite beautiful! What about you?
Berjaya Times Square did not impress me much this year. This is the giant statue outside the front entrance.
I quite like the designs at the top of the two pillars.
Inside it was nothing much to shout about.
Cranes flying above the clouds.
What do you think of the decorations at Berjaya Times Square?
Lastly, I went to Suria KLCC.
It looked pretty nice but there's really nothing new with it which had not been done by other malls before.
The huge lantern
View from the top floors.
Which shopping mall in bbKLCC area you think has the best Chinese New Year decorations? Of course I did not cover all the shopping malls, so do let me know if you came across better ones this year.
For those of you who celebrate Chap Goh Meh (Chinese Valentine's Day) on the 15th day of Chinese New Year this Sunday, have a Happy Chap Goh Meh! : )
