Do You Feel Christmas Around the Town??

Merry Christmas!! Many places around Ipoh has been decorated with Christmas Decoration. Places such as Jalan Tambun near Sunway City Ipoh traffic light intersection, the dim glow of street lamps has been dwarfed by man made mistletoe outlined with neon tube lights. At the same time, inside of Sunway City Ipoh, all the leafless trees, in addition of the mistletoe and snowflakes, and also the statues of reindeer make the place looks like a winter wonderland.  

Other than Sunway City Ipoh, Ipoh Parade Shopping Centre has also done very creative and nice decoration. Ipoh Parade Shopping Centre has sculpture a Santa Claus out of balloons that extends his hands to greet customers.

It is so lively in Ipoh!
