Chinese clan associations (Chinese:會館) are formed by Overseas Chinese based on dialect groups or same family names to look after their members's affairs and welfare. In modern days, Chinese Clan Associations mostly serve as places for old folks gathering, the younger generations are seldom involved in clan activities.
