Experience the life of Chinese natives in Penang's Chinatown

Must-visit: When in George Town, the old city area of Penang, Malaysia, the Clan Jetties are a must-visit spot. In fact, the Clan Jetties are not a bridge, but a residential area connected to the sea, which has now been listed as a World Cultural Heritage site. The Penang Clan Jetties are the earliest gathering place for Chinese in Penang. The houses built over the sea are simple yet not rudimentary. This place is not a single building, but a collective name for many jetties. Today, the surviving jetties named after the surnames Lim, Chew, Tan, Lee, Yeoh, and the Mixed Clans are six of the Clan Jetties. This is a great place to understand and integrate into the life of Penang. Highlight: Currently, Chew Jetty is the largest among the Clan Jetties. The creaking wooden planks are full of historical charm. The small shops on the jetty offer a variety of cold drinks, fried snacks, seafood, and other specialty snacks, as well as handicrafts. It is also the filming location of the movie 'Ice Kacang Puppy Love', making it a perfect spot for fresh and quaint photo sessions. Admission: Free. Touring method: The characteristic of this place is that it is full of a strong sense of life, and the best way to experience it is by walking. Walking all the way to the end of the sea, accompanied by the gentle breeze blowing over the sea, is another kind of tranquility and coolness.
