If you are a shopping freak, then the Pavilion mall is a great spot and is a must-visit place to see modern architecture which is amazing.

The Pavilion Mall is located in the BBKLCC, which is a shopping paradise of Malaysia. Inside this BBKLCC area, there is a number of malls where I proceeded to Pavilion mall.
