Clan Jetties

The Clan Jetties of Penang are a unique area of George Town, offering a fascinating window into the island's past and present. Dating back to the 19th century, the jetties were built by Chinese immigrants who settled in the area and established a thriving community. Today, the jetties are home to seven wooden villages, each owned by a specific Chinese clan, and feature traditional houses, temples, and prayer temples. Visitors can stroll along the wooden piers and experience the local culture, with the best time to visit being early morning when the locals practice their daily rituals. The Clan Jetties are a great place to learn about the island's history and culture, and are suitable for families with children
