# Khoo Kong Si 鬼斧神工之龙山堂

Khoo Kong Si - Treasure of Penang People
邱氏公司-龙山堂 - 槟岛国民的宝藏

Surfing whole list of search engine in Yahoo and Goggle, you are hardly found pictures of Khoo Clan Kongsi of this building taken either outside or inside of the building at night.  Many visitors just taking picture around the building and never notice that interior decoration even more interesting.  It is a piece of art,  the sculpture of the wall, roof, ceiling and pillars really unbelievable fine and real.  The lighting and traditional lanterns just nice to light up throughout the building.  If you didn't walk into it, you are consider missing the best of the best.
当您漫游网络包过谷哥或牙虎时，你不难发现好多关于邱公司的像片都没有夜间拍摄的，不关是内或外部的夜景，好多游客只是在外边拍拍照但都忽略了内部唯美的部分，邱公司可说是一件艺术品，它那精雕细琢的柱子，屋顶和墙梁，的确不感相信的细腻和乱真， 那灯饰和传统灯笼恰好照亮整座建筑物，假如您没踏入的话，您可说是错过了美中之最的画面了。

The clan temple was built in 1906 when the Khoo clan was at the height of wealth and eminence in Penang society. the complex boasts a magnificent hall embellished with intricate carvings and richly ornamented beams of the finest wood bearing the mark of master craftsmen. The clan temple is dedicated to the clan's patron deities and also houses a collection of ancestral tablets. Opera is still staged at the theatre during the special ocation.

邱公司龙山堂建于1906年， 当时邱氏家族的确在槟城是有财有势的生意人，它的成立基于维护同姓氏的同胞， 当时也是开辟槟城城市化的早期华人。 邱公司龙山堂建设樘煌，鬼斧神工的雕琢，中国古代留传下来的陶瓷器具，还有祖先的神牌都让你目不暇接，目不转睛。 在特殊情况下都有京剧表演。

The wonderful craftsmanship in woodcarving, stone carving, colored drawing, stucco sculpture, cut-and-paste decoration and tiled roof work are fascinating.

# Sg Batu Beach 公芭海滨公园

Batu Ferringhi, Tanjung Bungar only beaches in Penang??
The answer is No.. There are many more because Penang is an island. 槟岛四面环岛，不怕没沙滩，只怕你不知。

Sg Batu Telur Kumber 公芭海滨公园 



Sg Batu - beaches and recreation park

Everyday is a summer day in Penang. Warm sand, cooling sea water everywhere here.  Windy weather and quite beach can be labeled to Sg Batu beach.  I never though that this beach just like a garden.  A role of " Rhu " trees just like the guardian of the sea.  There are swing along with the wind, just like dancing in the sky.  The sound of the leaf by wind, just like singing with the rythem of the wave of sea.

 槟岛是个每天都是夏季海岛，温热的气候和宁静的沙滩那就是 公芭海滨公园， 我没想到它也是个花园，一排排的岚树就像海洋的卫士雄壮的树立在海滩上，树叶随风摇摆就像在天上偏偏起舞，那树叶沙沙的响，就像和海浪的旋律朗朗歌颂。

It was a lazy evening.  The shade of trees keep me relax. Listen to the sound of nature make me sleepy.  without knowing, I was falling into sweet sweet dream. 

一个懒散的下午，一个阴凉的树下，让我停下脚步休息，大自然的声音让我不知不觉的掉入甜甜的梦乡。

Time go by and when I wake up due to the sun light is shining to my eye in the late evening.  The world become golden in colour. I feel lucky and happy because I stay in the country which full of wonder.  That is a gift of nature.  On the other hand, I feel sad because the moment of sun set just so short.   


时间很快的过去了， 夕阳夕光照耀在我的眼皮上使我如梦初醒，当我梦醒时已经是夕阳西下了，大地都被夕阳照至满地通红。

顿时感到我非常幸运因为我生长在一个拥有大自然的国家，但是我也同时感到夕阳无限好可是近黄昏。



At this moment, at this upon of time I realise that the meaning of "PRESENT "  Enjoy present because it come and never return.  It is the present from god.  在此时此刻，我领悟的当下的意义，时间一去不返，“PRESENT 当下“ 也是天给我们的礼物。

  Inside the building, it is cooling and bright.  There are 3 stories and consist of office at the ground floor.  Walk along the narrow spiral shape staircase to reach 1st floor with viewing section, see below picture.  3rd floor is the light area as shown above picture.
灯塔共有三层高，中层有瞭望台，上层是灯照玻璃窗。

     

 360  degree viewing area is the most interesting area to take a  rest after long journey of hiking.  This is the place to enjoy scenery of serounding, windy and panoramic view of Indian Ocean. It is also the home of white head eagle, birds, snake and many others animal are living here.  I feel very peaceful and clear mind.  While having your lunch, enjoy the song of nature.

360 度的瞭望台是重点，经过漫长的徒步也该休息的时候，辽阔的印度洋， 凉风徐徐吹在脸庞，感觉美妙极乐，心灵平静和清醒，这里也是白头老鹰和其他动物的家乡，最美妙的时刻是享受午餐的当儿欣赏到大自然界的旋律。

This is a very meaningful visit that I will never forget.
Light house lead the way for thousand of ships past through Strait of Malacca a hundred year ago till now.
It is also sign of hope for hundreds of fisherman who coming home from the sea. The light is telling them their family is waitng for their return.
It keep memory of Malaysian for the past histories.
It show the strength eventhough working for more then a century.
It show me a lesson that life is still go on regardless rainning and shinning.....be strong.

I will return here again and again.

这是个很有意义和难忘的旅程。

百年前至今这灯塔曾经领航过千万只渡过马六甲海峡的商船。

它是渔夫的希望因为灯塔告诉渔夫们妻儿在等待回家。

它也见证和记录了马来西亚的历史。

它很坚强屹立了世纪还不倒。

它是我的榜样，不管风吹雨打，生命要坚强持续不倒。

我还会一而三的再来。
