Pavilion Mall - Views From Where I Stand

Bintang Walk outside from Pavilion.

I didn't really plan on documenting KL's posh "Pavilion" which is my second favorite entertainment arcade in the Malaysian capital. However, I noticed that I've acquired quite a few photos from my several visits here - so why not?

I like its Golden Screen complex because, unlike Berjaya Times Square's, Pavilion's GCC has a more "international mindset" where their audience is concerned. The Malaysian films they release usually have English subtitles. Moreover, they release titles otherwise only seen in art houses. They have alternative flicks: I caught an Iranian film here late last year. Though their cinema admission is a little more expensive than others, it is understandable. Pavilion is right in the heart of Bintang Walk.

Pavilion is built on the former site of Bukit Bintang Girls' School (KL's oldest) which has moved to Cheras. It officially opened in September of 2007, and is punctuated by the colorful Liuli Fountain, a tourist attraction in itself, at its facade. The mall consists of four major components: a retain mall, an office tower, two residential towers, and a proposed hotel. It has 450 shops spread across seven levels.

Here are images from my Pavilion visits.

This is the Eye in the Sky!
