Quan Thang House is some 300 years old and is still a living home today. It was interesting to wander around looking and finding a family still going about their daily routines inside.
Trung Hoa Assembly Hall was established in 1741 to worship the Goddess of the Sea, Thien Hau. It also once served as a school for the Chinese community.
Fukian Assembly Hall was established in 1697 as a civic facility for this southern Chinese community. Being the grandest of the Chinese assembly halls, it contains many animal symbols, from the dragon that symbolizes power and the phoenix that symbolizes nobility to the turtle that symbolizes longevity.
