Visiting Khoo Kongsi in Penang
I went to Penang to meet my friends during this Chinese New Year. Hence, he brought us around Penang for food and sightseeing. One of the places that he brought us to go is Khoo Kongsi which is located in Georgetown. The entrance is at an alley, quite unnotceable. If you are not familiar then you might need time to find the entrance.
The entrance fee for Khoo Kongsi has increased from RM5 to RM10 in just half-year time. The fees included two postcards and one entrance stickers. Honestly, I don’t think it is worth for the amoung that we paid (especially for local). But, if you appreciated arts, clanhouse and the history, then maybe you can visit to this place. Of course, if you are from Khoo (邱) family, then perhaps you should visit there to know how the Khoo family travelled to Malaysia in many years ago.
We took about 20 minutes in this area. I don’t see many foreigners visiting the place as well. Usually they like this kind of cultural places in Malaysia. So, worth it or not, you have to see it on your own.
