		<description><![CDATA[We visited Yeoh Kongsi and Yap Kongsi by sheer chance while looking for Khoo Kongsi. It was funny that we weren&#8217;t really know what Khoo Kongsi is but since it&#8217;s a renowned attraction in Penang, we decided to find out what it is. Along the way looking for Khoo Kongsi, we were attracted by several Chinese temples. We visited the temples abruptly with very little knowledge about them. It&#8217;s called on-the-spot-spontaneous investigation. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m not familiar with Chinese temples, but these temples just look different. They are not opened to public to pray. After the lecture by a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Visiting Penang is like treasure hunting. You will find surprises at all times and at all places. We were hunting for Khoo Kongsi and out of the blue this temple came into sight. For the sake of my blog, took the picture first, before even knowing what building it is. The gates were actually closed, I took the picture through the hole of the wall. I didn&#8217;t even know whether it was a private place, since there was a guard and a dog. A woman, who is also a Singh, passed by and asked if I want to visit the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have not read Part 1, click here ~&#62; The Cheong Fatt Tze Blue Mansion Part 1 ~*~*~*~ Of his vast empire, Cheong Fatt Tze chose Penang to build the most elaborate of his home and to raise his sons. It is reputed to be ONLY one of two such buildings of this size, outside China and certainly the MOST perfected. While the Mansion&#8217;s floorplan is essentially Chinese, the overall effect is eclectic and typical of 19th Century Straits Settlements architecture. Gothic louvered windows, Chinese cut &#38; paste porcelain work, Stoke-on-Trent floor tiles, Scottish cast iron works and Art [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can&#8217;t say no to an exquisitely dazzling blue mansion, even if you might not have heard about it. It&#8217;s so eye-catching that it needs a lot of effort for one to resist it. Especially blue mansion for Chinese, how rare, let alone it happened in 1880. Colors carry different meanings to Chinese, especially ancient Chinese. Red symbolizes happiness and auspicious; yellow signifies neutrality; white represents gold and symbolizes brightness, purity, and fulfillment. What colors do mourners wear during Chinese funeral?
