Lee Sih Chong Soo, or Lee Kongsi, is the clan association for the Chinese surnamed Lee. The association is located at King Street, and occupies a row of three 2-storey buildings. The building in the middle was modified in the Straits Eclectic style in 1926, to house the Lee clan temple. On the ground floor of the clan temple is a pair of Ionic columns while on the upper floor, it is replaced with a pair of Chinese-style temple columns. The roof is also modified to follow the elements of a Chinese temple, complete with circular windows adorned with ornate bamboo grills.

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 you will see Lee Sih Chong Soo on your left.
