Accessible to the public for free and phototaking is allowed. An Ancestral Hall for the Chan clan. No crowded even we visit during Sunday. 👀 As you walk into building main entrance, look up for the golden wolden sculpture hanging on top. Read about the Chan clan history at the left and right of the building. Get to know Jalan Chan Sow Lin was named after him. Visit the small historic gallery located on the left. 💕 The Hall is small but is kept maintained and gives off a good aura when I entered it. It has a small room for exhibition of its history and will have you educated on it. The historical artefacts on the exhibitions are also interesting. 👍🏻 If you are around the area, it is well worth a visit. 😋 #kualalumpur #bestdeal #celebratewithtrip #summervacation #awesomepic #couplestrip #mytripvlog
