Penang's Mysterious Clan Jetties

In the northwest of the Malay Peninsula lies Penang Island, home to a unique settlement known as the 'Clan Jetties,' where families with the same surname live on houses built on stilts over the sea. Established by Hokkien Chinese immigrants who settled here in the mid-19th century, it is now a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally, there were nine jetties in the northeastern part of Penang Island, but only seven remain today. Each jetty is named after a family surname, such as Chew Jetty, Lim Jetty, Tan Jetty, and Lee Jetty, where members of the same clan live together.

Lee Jetty

#travellerswonderland This is one of a series of jetties that are named using Chinese surnames. Apparently, in the old days China migrants to South East Asia like to stick together according to their China home village or surnames. They formed clans and do business by hiring own clan people. The Lee jetty is one of the more elaborated one , but don’t stop just there. Visit the rest which are just next to each others. Suggest go on weekday evening when it’s not so hot. The sunset view is spectacular!

Lee Jetty

#travellerswonderland I feel Lee Jetty View much prettier than other Jetty. Surrounding are locals staying, but they are not doing business. Hence, try to keep our voice down when we enter. The view of daytime and nighttime of the sea are different. In a short walk, you can reach the end and see the sea view, which I believe is one of the must-visit spots in Penang.

Georgetown is everything you'll can find💃😆 Yummy food! Beautiful building Historic place #deliciousfood #awesomepic #jettychew #welcometopenang #beautifulmalaysia
