Guardian Lion of Khoo Kongsi (although it looks more like a bulldog to me)
Nope, Khoo Kongsi is not a person, it’s a famous landmark in Penang Island, the Clan House of the Khoo family.
But just try asking any Malaysian, or Penangite for that matter, and chances are that they’ll have absolutely no idea where this, most famous of Chinese Clan Houses (in Penang), is. Wanna know where it is? Just ask one of the many tourists roaming around Penang.
(Hint: It’s located within a courtyard ringed by shop-houses on all sides. Entrance is through an opening in between some shophouses on a narrow street fronting the Achehnese Mosque.)
