Big Christmas Trees @ 6 Malls in Chennai
Forum Mall, Vadapalani, Chennai
Yesterday I decided to undertake a small adventure. I (rightly) guessed that the malls in Chennai would’ve erected big Christmas trees for this festive season. So I thought why not visit the malls, take photos of the Christmas trees, and show it to blog readers? To make this challenge more interesting, I decided to use public transport instead of going in my bike.Â
Result? I visited six malls at various locations in the city using just buses and metro (except one route – Express Avenue to City Center, where I had to take an auto). I started from my home at 2 P.M. and was back by 10 P.M. I realized one can easily travel in buses across the city. Of course, since it was a Sunday there was not much crowd, and that was important for me to even consider taking up this adventure 🙂
Here are the pics of Christmas decorations/Large Christmas Trees from six malls, in the order in which I visited: (First one is above)
Phoenix Market City, Velachery, Chennai
Spencer Plaza, Mount Road, Chennai
Express Avenue, Royapettah, Chennai
City Center, Mylapore, Chennai
Sky Walk, Anna Nagar, Chennai

Aww… the prettiest innovative Christmas decoration goes to ‘Express Avenue’ with its White Christmas show! Excellent collection!

Yes that’s huge. I just wish they had some focus lights facing the exhibits so that it appears brighter.

Each Christmas tree stands for their unique decorations! Really amazing how u were able to cover all these malls in half a day… well utilized the public transport and wish many follow your way, and I think for people who travel alone, public transportation could be easiest and best.
Happy New Year, Rajesh 🙂
I didn’t expect it to be easy, but it was not tough either. I guess the key was I traveled on a Sunday. Other days, public transport is heavily crowded!

There are shortcuts. But great men take lone and long path. Take care my friend.
Great men, and also men with some time to kill or wanting to stay away from their laptop, take the long path 😛

Very nicely taken pictures. The pictures should be able to make the places a tourist destinations. 🙂
Yeah, at least for the festive season. But tourists throng to malls all around the year anyway 🙂

Beautiful pics. Travelling by public transport also lets you know your city better.
