Located along one of the main roads at the heart of George Town, the Chinese clan temple Thye Guan Tong Ong Kongsi is the clan association of the Min Hokkien bearing the Ong surname. The original ancestral temple of the clan was built in 1891 by the sea in Jelutong. The current clan temple, the Seh Ong Kongsi, is located at 436 Penang Road which is just right opposite of the busy KOMTAR complex and tower.
The Han Jiang Teochew Temple is a Chinese temple located along Lebuh Chulia in George Town and right at the cross junction of Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling. It is the community temple of the Penang Teochew Association. Completed in 1870, the Hanjiang Ancestral Temple is the community temple of the Penang Teochew Association which was formed in 1855 by six Teochew migrants.
The temple has suffered from long years of wear and tear as well as neglect over the year until a special committee was then formed in 2002 to conduct a restoration project of the temple which was later completed in 2005. The temple is carefully restored in its unique old Chinese architecture and to reflect its history properly.
