The Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) Temple: The first temple built by Chinese settlers in the early 19th century. The Kuan Yin is a Bodhisattva - a being who has actually attained Nirvana but stays behind to save those souls who have not escaped the world of suffering.
The Kapitan Kling Mosque: As soon as the East India Company stationed itself in Penang, the Muslim section of its troops comprising the Havildars, Jemadars and Sepoys founded this first mosque in 1801. The mosque is named after Caude Mydin Merican alias Kapitan Kling who was headman at the time. He brought in builders, masons and stones from India for the building of this magnificent Moorish-styled mosque.
Cannon Square and the Khoo Kongsi Clan House: A cannon shot fired by the British during the secret society fights of the Penang Riots of 1867, lends its name to the square. The famous Khoo Kongsi located at the square is the grandest clan house in the country. The clan house has retained its authentic historic setting, which includes an association building, a traditional theatre and late 19th century row houses for clan members, all clustered around a granite-paved square. The clan temple itself is a monument of Zhang Zhou architecture of typical late Ching dynasty baroqueness.
Sun Yat Sen base: Visit a late 19th century shop house which was the base of the Tung Meng Hooi party when it was headquartered in Penang from 1909 to 1911. This was the party of Dr Sun Yat Sen, leader of the Chinese nationalist revolution. From Penang, Dr Sun and his friends planned the Canton Uprising of spring 1911. Although the Canton Uprising was defeated, it was considered the turning point of the revolution which led to the Double Tenth Revolution and subsequent overthrow. |
