The sidewalks leading to the mall itself is decked with trees dressed up for the holidays. They are all lit up from trunk to branches with yellow lights and further highlighted by light effects coming from under the benches below. There are also beautifully organizes floras placed to brighten up every visitor’s mood. 

The Mall has Christmas trees in different shapes and forms, the first tree you’ll find is decorated with mini Santa Claus and elves and Darumas in sleighs. It’s such a unique sight to behold, you may also find a huge paper origami tree made from carefully assembled origami pieces shaped in snowflakes aptly named as the “white snow shower.”                                                                                                                

After entering the mall and crossing the street you will find the Garden Illumination which is comprised of trees dressed up in warm glowing lights, then as you walk further you’ll be led to the Champagne and Starlight road illuminations. The Champagne illumination are trees surrounded by wine-inspired lights while the starlight road is made up of blue lights as a prelude to the main illumination spot named as: The Universe. 

The Universe is this year’s illumination theme. It seeks to represent the heavenly bodies and make the viewers feel like they’re somehow in outer space. They set up the place with almost 200,000 LED lights that responses to a melody and changes color. There are also balloon lights and bubbles floating around the area. They also added smoke effects and led lights that dances and changes color all around the whole garden. In the middle you can find a space tower that’s almost 10 meters tall.
