Boon San Tong Khoo Kongsi

Boon San Tong Khoo Kongsi is the clan temple of a sub-sect of the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi clan. Located on Victoria Street in George Town, this temple is another stunning example of the ornate and intricate architecture associated with Chinese clan houses in Penang. While perhaps not as grand or as famous as its main clan house counterpart, Boon San Tong still showcases a high degree of craftsmanship, with detailed wood and stone carvings, colorful ceramic decorations, and a beautifully adorned prayer hall. These clan temples served as important centers for the community, providing a place for worship, mutual support, and the veneration of ancestors. A visit to Boon San Tong Khoo Kongsi offers a deeper look into the complex social structure and the rich artistic heritage of the Chinese clans who helped build Penang.
