Chin Si Thoong Soo or Chin clan association, is located along King Street in George Town. This ornate two-storey building houses the clan association of those surnamed Chin. The building is designed in the Cantonese Straits Eclectic style in 1914. The plaque over the main door gleams in the morning sun. On the upper floor is a balustrade, and behind it a carved timber screen.

On the roof is a pair of stone lions sitting at either end of the gable wall.

Getting there

Take the Free Rapid Penang Shuttle Bus to Bus Stop No. 5 (Bank Negara) and walk a short distance down Light Street to King Street. Walk along King Street, cross Bishop Street and continue on until you see Chin Si Thoong Soo on your right.
