Alright, as most of the KL people is concern, this gigantic naked bull is placed in front of Pavilion’s main entrance. Pavilion’s management has generously invite everyone to touch the Golden Bull’s head & it was believed that by touching its head you will be blessed with good luck and prosperity this coming year.
