			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my second visit to this heritage site, last time was in 2007, it seems has some changes in the exhibition hall. I&#8217;m so lucky to have 2 frees entry pass, so I go along with Tommy Chai for this Khoo Kongsi shooting,</p>
<p>The <strong>Khoo Kongsi</strong> (<a title="wikt:邱" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%82%B1">邱</a><a title="wikt:公司" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8">公司</a>) is a large Chinese <a title="Kongsi" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongsi">clanhouse</a> with elaborate and highly ornamented architecture, a mark of the dominant presence of the <a title="Malaysian Chinese" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Chinese">Chinese</a> in <a title="Penang, Malaysia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang,_Malaysia">Penang, Malaysia</a>. The famous Khoo Kongsi is the grandest clan temple in the country. It is also one of the city&#8217;s major historic attraction. The clan temple has retained its authentic historic setting, which includes an association building, a traditional theatre and the late 19th century rowhouses for clan members, all clustered around a granite-paved square. It is located in Cannon Square in the heart of the oldest part of the city of <a title="George Town, Penang" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Town,_Penang">George Town</a>, in the midst of narrow, winding lanes and quaint-looking pre-<a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II">War</a> houses exuding a palpable old world charm.
