Penang Chinese Town Hall, Chinese community center in George Town, Malaysia

The Penang Chinese Town Hall features ten floors with traditional Chinese design elements incorporated throughout its modern architectural structure.

The institution's roots trace back to 1881, when Chung Keng Quee established the original center as its founding president until 1883.

The hall maintains Mandarin as its official language and regularly hosts events that strengthen connections among Chinese residents in Penang.

Located at coordinates 5.418868, 100.339007, the building stands near the municipal City Hall in central George Town.

In 1905, the hall became a central meeting point for Chinese merchants organizing a boycott against American goods due to immigration policies.
