No.18 Cannon Square,

The Khoo Kongsi is a clan association of the Leong San Tong (Dragon Mountain Hall) clan, whose forefathers came from Sin Kang clan village in Hokkien province. The Khoos were among the wealthy Straits Chinese traders of 17th century Malacca and early Penang. In the 19th century, the clan complex resembled a miniature clan village, with its own self-government as well as educational, financial, welfare and social organisations. The clan temple was built in 1906 when the Khoo clan was at the height of wealth and eminence in Penang society.

    The Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi of Penang - often known simply as Khoo Kongsi - is the finest Chinese clan house in Malaysia, or for that matter, anywhere outside of China. The exquisite façade of this famous clan temple offers a glimpse at one of the oldest clan associations in Penang.
