Khoo Kongsi is a Chinese clan house in Penang which has been well maintained/restored over the years. It was really interesting to see. The property consists of the temple, offices, a theater, and the old houses for the members. They now have a small museum under the temple which has information about the history of the temple and the clan.
The temple was amazing, especially the intricate woodwork. It was amazing how much detail there was.
This temple is amazing. How old is it? The carved pieces must have taken years.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the war statue in your other piece.
It was rebuilt in 1906 (after a fire) but restored relatively recently.
