Introduction

During the time when Chinese architects worked on Penang Island, Loo Pun Hong Construction built a temple and an architectural guild, which were the protective gods worshipped by ancient loggers and construction workers. These workers made significant contributions to the early ruins of Penang Island, building many of the structures that were later continued by other architects, forming the unique ancient architectural style of Penang today. Loo Pun Hong's architectural style was very Chinese, resembling a small temple and displaying strong Confucian thought. Although the facade is not large, Loo Pun Hong's sign is enough to attract people to stop and admire.
