Penang Ta Kam Hong

First impression, I thought it was an old temple. It has the outlook and features of the temple.
Further research revealed that it was initially Goldsmith Guild Hall, first built in 1903, and then turned to Temple to worship Wu Chin God (The Patron God of Goldsmiths). This Penang goldsmith Association was formed in 1832 and is still the largest association in Malaysia.
Somebody put a Modern Street Art on the right wall, changing the view of the landscape. Ancient cultural heritage plus Contemporary Art, cater for every body.
