What To Expect
Goddess of Mercy Temple (Kuan Yin Teng)
Start on the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy, a spiritual haven built by early Chinese settlers. This stop reflects the resilience and unity of Penang’s Chinese community, with stories of cultural harmony and cooperation.
Penang Chinese Town Hall, established around 1881, is a historic organization founded by the Chinese merchant class in Penang to safeguard their community interests and welfare. It originated from the need to manage secular affairs separately from spiritual ones, which were traditionally overseen by the Kong Hock Keong Temple.

5.00Really fun tour! Guide was super chill and told lots of cool stories about old Chinese clans and even some wild fights from back in the day. Saw hidden spots I’d never find by myself. Not too long, not boring at all. If you like history or just wanna see a different side of George Town, this one’s worth it.
