Khoo Kongsi (邱公司) is a mark of the dominant presence of Chinese in Penang and it is the grandest clan temple in Malaysia. It is well known worldwide for its extensive lineage that can be traced back 650 years, as well as its closely-knit and defensive congregation of buildings and a magnificent clanhouse. There are three entrances that you can use to reach there; Cannon Street, Beach Street and Armenian Street.

[Updated 2020] Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion @ Penang

2 January 2012 by Charmaine Pua

I’d like to say that this tour at Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion has got to be the most value for money tour ever. With an entrance fee of RM 18 per person, I got to hear exciting stories and history about Cheong Fatt Tze (張弼士) and his blue Mansion from a plump middle aged lady for an hour. Her story telling skills surprised me and she’s quite funny.

There isn’t many place where you get to eat while doing charity right? I’m so excited to come to this place after knowing their background. The Lighthouse Cafe & Bakery is located inside St. Francis Xavier Church so if you couldn’t locate the cafe using your GPS, you can plot it to St. Francis Xavier Church instead.
