Jetty Tales: A Walk Through Time on Wooden Planks

#penangspots This Heritage floats! Welcome to the Clan Jetties of Penang. Nestled along George Town’s historic waterfront, these stilted villages are home to Chinese clans whose ancestors arrived in the 19th century. Wander the narrow wooden walkways, peek into traditional homes, and soak in the salty breeze as you witness daily life unfolding above the water. From vibrant temples to charming street art, the jetties blend old-world charm with modern creativity. Chew Jetty, the most popular, buzzes with local shops and colorful murals, while quieter jetties offer a more intimate glimpse into Penang’s soul. Whether you’re chasing history, culture, or a perfect sunset photo, the Clan Jetties promise a journey unlike any other. It’s not just a visit, it’s a living memory.
