The Palaceside Building's year-end Christmas decorations are up. How do they look — a bit brighter this year?
In the atrium of the first-basement central concourse a giant tree about 6 meters tall stands in the center =photo right above. That much is as usual
, but from the first-floor ceiling above, six LED strings more than 2 meters long suggesting the Milky Way hang in a row, glittering =photo above. Walking the first-floor corridor you are drawn to the glow even from afar.
Besides these, ten 4-meter illuminations are fixed on both sides of the atrium drop walls and the "Stairs of Dreams" =photos right below= and elsewhere. LED bulbs used total more than 14,000, staging a "Christmas of light."
In the open space beside the first-floor east entrance a 2-meter mid-size tree =pho
to below left, and at left and right on the first floor after the east and west Stairs of Dreams, four small 1.3-meter trees =photos below right.
Further, bright red flags reading "Merry Christmas 2018" hang from the ceiling in front of each shop on the first-floor and first-basement corridors, lifting the mood =photo at the end.
Less than a month and a half remains of the year — Christmas, then New Year. Work and private life are in the "final push." Let's hustle and enjoy.
