San Wooi Wooi Koon
San Wooi Wooi Koon is a Cantonese district association along Bishop Street, similar to the Ng Fook Thong Cantonese District Association on Chulia Street.
The San Wooi Wooi Koon was built in the 1870's and refurbished in 1883. It has a stone fence with three pairs of gate post, and with many Cantonese-style association temples, these are all made of granite. The San Wooi Wooi Koon still has its original terracotta floor tiles. A pair of lions stand at the gate.
