Unlike Christmas, I probably won't roam around malls this Chinese New Year. :D So, I present to you the mall closest to my office, Tai Koo Shing! :)
There are seriously huge Chinese Dragons around the mall. Everything is so giantic, even the fake peach blossoms are like 2 stories tall! Impressive!

| The dragons on the walls and the peach blossoms are really enormous. You can see the people walking under the dragons are like stick figures. :D |
 |
| I like these Dragon banners hanging above the skating rink. |

| To celebrate the year of the dragon, the mall even has a King's Dragon Robes exhibition (I call it "大展龍袍") . These are robes worn by Guangxu 光緒 & Jiaqing 嘉慶. The Black one was worn by The Empress Dowager, Cixi 慈禧太后. The Dragons on the Emperor's robes has 5 claws, while the Empress' would only have 4 claws to distinguish them apart. |
As a bonus, I give you another dragon which is located near my home. :D I'd say this one is too skinny and unimpressive.

So your post is really on time. :D
I've a former professor who likes oriental dragons very very very much. She has numerous dragon decor in her house. I think she might also have been born in the year of dragon. Maybe I'll find some dragon goodies and send to her.
