Penang Trip Part 5: Khoo Kongsi

Khoo Kongsi deserved a dedicated post from me for its definitely unique kind of culture that offers me. I really like that place very much.

As of other post, I will present the photos. :) Enjoy everyone.

Small road leading towards the complex.


Maybe this place is the gang meeting place.


Here's the main temple building. Notice the veil that covers the entrance.


The little dragon (or lion? tiger?) welcomes everyone with a smile.


Name plates of their ancestors.


Recognize these? Remember the oldies HK dramas?


Some 3 pillars there. Any idea what they mean?


The plates, the magnificent ceiling up there. How on earth they do that??

They also put up all the plates that the Khoo's family inherited.

The altar of the inner temple. Look carefully, there is no statue or whatever for worship.

Another view of the ceiling. I wonder, how they did that??

Outside ceiling. Still very very awesome.

Lion! Or what?

Yo, he's smiling at you...

She's smiling at you as well.. gee this is getting very creepy..

Never mind, this Indian police will protect you out of here. Haha..

I would really recommend Khoo Kongsi as a must visit in Penang. Really nice. :)

God bless you all!
