Khoo Kongsi, Chinese clan temple in George Town, Malaysia.

Khoo Kongsi is the Leong San Tong clan temple on Cannon Square in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. Its low, wide front has a red-tiled roof with upturned ridge ends bearing sculpted figures, a frieze of small yellow-and-green brackets below the eaves, and dark wooden columns with gold fittings along an open porch. A carved pale-green stone lion on a pedestal stands at the left of the grey stone steps, and red lanterns with characters hang between the columns.

After a fire in 1901, the building was reconstructed between 1902 and 1906, with craftsmen brought from China to create the decorations. The second version shows deliberately less ornate details, because people believed the first fire was caused by too much splendor.

The name means Khoo clan assembly hall, reminding visitors of the Chinese family association that still maintains this place. On festival days, incense burns and traditional music sometimes drifts from the courtyard.

Visiting is possible every day and usually takes around half an hour, allowing time to walk through the courtyard and main hall. Photography is allowed, but speaking quietly is advised because people sometimes come here to pray.

The clan takes its name from Leong San Tong, or Dragon Mountain Hall, and traces its line to Sin Aun Village in Fujian. A genealogical chart guides the naming of each generation, though the clan notes it is not always followed today. The temple also keeps a collection of ancestral tablets.
