Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi
Introduction Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi is the most artistically valuable clan temple in Penang. A kongsi is a Chinese association hall, typically consisting of a temple and a clanhouse. Khoo Kongsi was established by members of the Khoo family who migrated from Fujian Province, China in 1835. It was completed in the late 19th century but soon suffered from a fire. The current structure was rebuilt in 1906 and renovated in the 1950s. The exquisite carvings both inside and outside the kongsi were crafted by master artisans from China, making it a must-visit destination for enthusiasts of Chinese culture and art. The breathtaking craftsmanship is sure to leave you in awe and admiration. Transportation Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi is located on Lebuh Cannon, near the end of Lebuh Pitt. Tickets/Opening Hours Admission is RM5 for adults and RM1 for children. Opening hours: 9:00–17:00.
