This is the day time shot of the Chinese New Year decorations of the Rooster in 2017 of M-Mall in Penang Times Square. After the Year of the Monkey comes the Year of the Fire Rooster which will start on January 28, 2017 – the second New Moon after the Solstice. Roosters were very important in people's daily lives in ancient times. They were not only treated as food, like today, but in ancient times people regarded them as a mascot since they ate harmful insects.
This is also part of the new year decoration with some animals to cheer up and decorate the festivity, especially for children and toddlers. M-Mall in Penang Times Square is a happening place in Georgetown. It is the only Condo resort right smack in the heart of the city of Penang. Recently, it hosted the FMM channel of Astro for the Chinese yuppies and they simply loved to see their idols performed and sang on New Year countdown 2 days ago.
One will be spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping for goods, tit-bits, scarves, perfumes, clothes, shoes and much more. China tourists come by the bus loads to Times Square for their shopping and to redeem their M Points collected from the investment. They can redeem at restaurants for meals or to buy souvenirs back home.
This is also taken at Times Square near Phase 1 called Birch the Plaza condominium. The red lanterns certainly light up the dark skies with pink cherry blossoms decorated on the sides. The flowers brighten up the place and make it more merry.
Fireworks were aplenty shooting and lighting up the night skies with showers of sparks that expands and then fades away. Times Square was very crowded with revelers on the last day of 2016 as they usher in 2017 with aplomb. If you are considering where to spend your Chinese New Year, why not come to Penang Times Square to see the painted ceilings, walls and many beautiful works of art of decorations on the walls. There are also several hotels nearby like Sunway Hotel which is just 3 minutes walk to Times Square other than many other smaller hotels nearby - all within walking distance.
