Penang Trip 2011- Khoo Kong Si

Finally, my Penang trip series has come to an end!! My last destination was a visit to the Khoo Kong Si mansion which is also located in the vicinity of the Nyonya mansion.

I was quite blur when i entered this place as I really do not know what is this place all about. It's best if you come here with a local who knows history or with a tour guide.

Anyway, entrance fees is also RM10 and the place is very well maintained.

From what I know, this place depicts the history of when the Chinese from Hokkien, China first stepped foot into Malaya as well as other countries like Medan(indonesia), Taiwan etc. That's why people from these places can speak hokkien i guess?

To enter the place you have go through this path as it is located in the middle of everywhere.

Front view of the place.

I visited the bottom floor first.

A scene from the olden days...

Anna and the king was apparently filmed here.

Some interior shots. TLDR. ><

ahh...so this place is all about the parentage of the Khoo clan or those chinese with the surname Khoo.

As mentioned above, this map showed how the Chinese from Hokkien province in China travelled to various parts of Asia.

Entrace to the upper floor

Very very nice carvings.

And lastly, they even have a few rooms to honours those geniuses from the Khoo family. Hope to emulate few of them too. =/

And uni life starts again tomorrow.... hope to buck up this new semester....
