Follow a focused walk through George Town's clan-association story, beginning at Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, a temple, then continuing to 世德堂謝公司 Cheah Kongsi Temple, a museum, and ending at Boon San Tong, a museum. Each stop brings a different named association into view, keeping the walk centered on how these organisations are represented and remembered. Boon San Tong gives the route a dedicated final stop, allowing you to consider its place alongside the Khoo and Cheah associations. Take this walk to stay with one subject rather than treating these places as a general heritage circuit.
