The Most Splendid Clan Temple in Penang: Khoo Kongsi

Khoo Kongsi is the largest Chinese clan temple and clan house in Malaysia, located in Cannon Square at the heart of George Town. Originally established in 1835, the current grand structure was completed in 1906.

Visitors can explore the interior and a small museum space. The temple's interior features intricate traditional Chinese carvings, woodwork, and porcelain decorations. In front of the main hall, there is a performance stage, administrative buildings, and surrounding shops.

Joining a guided tour or listening to explanations can provide more details, but even a short visit of about an hour is enough to appreciate the building and exhibition areas.

If you're strolling through George Town and want to immerse yourself in the culture, Khoo Kongsi is a must-visit heritage site.
