Koo Saing Wooi Koon, PenangKoo Saing Wooi Koon, Penang (18 November 2012)


Koo Saing Wooi Koon 槟榔屿刘关张赵古城会 is a clan temple along King Street in George Town, Penang. Though it was built as a townhouse, this double-storey building is a standalone structure. This is a combined-clan temple, for people of the Lau, Kuan, Teoh and Teo1, 3 clans. Dating to 1872, this is believed to be the oldest combined-clan temple in the country. The name Koo Saing Wooi Koon is derived from the Chinese historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 三國演義, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.

Built in the second half of the 19th century, the premises of Koo Saing Wooi Koon has undergone renovations, repairs and restorations numerous times until present day.2

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
