Pinang Peranakan Mansion

The building is the townhouse and ancestral hall of Kapitan China of Perak and the Han San triad leader, Chung Keng Kwee. It’s filled with antiques and furniture of the 19th century, and architectural features such as the colourful tiled floors and ironwork have been preserved.

It now converted into a Peranakan Museum displays a large private collection of Straits Chinese or Baba Nyonya antiques. The Chang Keng Kwee family temple is located next door.
