While on my way to the Khoo Kongsi, I came across a statue which is not there previously.
Many people were taking photos with the statue
The statue moved (shocking), actually it's a performer who pretends to be a statue. In this photo, the "statue" can't withstand anymore and laughed, so he taken a deep breath and continue to pretend as a statue
After finish snapping the photos of the "statue", I realized there's an entrance to a temple not far from the "statue", so I decided to explore the place.
The entrance to another temple
Small entrance to a temple with big compound
Closer look of the temple
An ancient ferrule installed on the main door at the entrance
After spending 20 minutes there, I headed to my last destination - Khoo Kongsi, which is not far away.
The Chief Minister of Penang - Lim Guan Eng, was outside Khoo Kongsi
The entrance to Khoo Kongsi, a red carpet was laid on the floor to welcome the V.I.P, though I am not one of them :P
An old lamp post and the old window looks classic to me
The famous Khoo Kongsi of Penang, unfortunately I was unable to snap the whole Khoo Kongsi

The Bengali guard statue, it's said to watch over the Khoo Kongsi
Some ancient sign boards
The architecture of the building is amazing
Another side of Khoo Kongsi
After spending an hour there, I left the place and went for my dinner (supper indeed).
