It is the weekend and Chinese New Year is here in a week. Most malls that are in Miri, Sarawak here have already been busy decorating Chinese New Year decors. Chinese New Year is an important event here in Sarawak. Do you know where Sarawak is or have you ever heard of Miri?
This is my first post here. I love the weekends as they are a time for me to relax and enjoy the day slowly. One of my hobbies is to take pictures whenever I can so I can keep a memory of certain moments of my life. Today, I went around to take pictures of different Chinese New Year decorations around the city especially while I was exploring malls today.
The first display is at the Bintang Megamall shopping center. This mall is quite popular here.
A lion is hidden inside. This is the year of the snake. Can you spot the snake at the top of this decoration?
Lots of lanterns inside here. Nine of them in total. Red is an auspicious color here. So, most malls and shops have red themes.
I was looking at this decor and the wordings at this decoration piece has been carved out properly.
This is a stage that I saw at another mall.
Chinese lanterns hung along this hallway. The whole city is preparing for the Chinese New Year too.
The guy fixing the red lanterns. At night, this place when it lights up would be very colorful vivid in red.
One of the things that Malaysia loves is decorating for the different festivals from Christmas to Chinese New Year as well as the Muslim festivals to celebrate the multicultural diversity of the country.
The malls come alive with Chinese New Year songs playing in the background. The following are the decorations at Imperial Mall Miri. This mall is located at the heart of the city and is quite popular with lots of locals visiting during Chinese New Year.
This mall has a department here that spends their time making these decorations.
I took this photo from the second floor of the mall here.
This was how I spent my weekend here in Miri and hope that you enjoy the photos of the different places with the Chinese New Year decorations.
