The Khoo Kongsi is a Chinese clanhouse for individuals with the same surname – in this case, Khoo. The clanhouse represents the family’s social and spiritual commitments between extended relations, ancestors and the outside community. Embodying the triumphs of the Khoo family, the Penang Khoo Kongsi – also known as Dragon Mountain Hall – is quite an impressive architectural feat that personifies good luck and wealth. Stone carvings adorn the entrance hall and pavilions, fantastic murals portraying birthdays, weddings and most memorably, the 36 divine guardians sprinkle the interior. Overhead, massive paper lamps cast the abode in an orange glow and stunning ceramic sculptures of immortals, carp fish and dragons dance across the roof ridges
