点评:The clan temple was the highlight of the visit to the clan compound.
The main entrance was off of Beach St. a small tunnel was filled with introductory storyboards to the clan, history and of the buildings themselves.
The tunnel opened up to a a row of clan houses that were all undergoing renovations. Peeking inside looked to be very modern decor.
The ticket window was in the last house. A sticker was provided as the ticket and just had to be visibly placed.
A small altar was accessible after entering the compound. An open air stage was located across from the clan temple and was also elaborately decorated.
The main star was the clan temple. On the first floor was a kitchen and the museum portion that contained the chronology of the Khoo clan from its founding, details about the temple construction and features plus more. Upstairs were multiple rooms each with their own altars and overall were ornately decorated with carvings, paintings and engravings. The veranda also was amazing with similar attention to the decor and styling. Do look up to the ceiling and the roof too outside as nothing was overlooked with the attention to details.
A must see in my opinion when in Penang.
翻译:宗祠是此次宗祠之旅的亮点。
宗祠的正门位于海滩街附近,一条小隧道里贴满了介绍宗祠、历史和建筑本身的故事板。
隧道通向一排正在翻修的宗祠房屋。往里看,里面的装饰非常现代。
售票窗口在最后一栋房屋里。门票里有一张贴纸,只要贴在显眼的地方就行了。
进入宗祠后,可以看到一个小祭坛。宗祠对面是一个露天舞台,装饰也非常精美。
宗祠是参观的重头戏。一楼是厨房和博物馆部分,里面陈列着邱氏家族从建国到现在的年表、寺庙的建造细节、特色等等。楼上有多个房间,每个房间都有自己的祭坛,整体装饰华丽,充满了雕刻、绘画和版画。阳台也同样令人惊艳,装饰和造型也同样用心。一定要抬头看看外面的天花板和屋顶,因为细节之处都体现了对细节的关注。
在我看来,这是来槟城必看的景点。
