The building was modified in the Straits Eclectic style in 1926 to house the Lee clan temple. East meets west at Lee Sih Chong Soo. On the ground floor, you see a pair of Ionic columns while on the upper floor, you see a pair of Chinese-style temple columns. The roof is also modified to follow the elements of a Chinese temple, complete with circular windows adorned with ornate faux-bamboo grills.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
