4K Virtual Walks - Clan Jetties of Penang - Malaysia
Walking through the Clan Jetties of Penang is like stepping back in time.
It offers a unique glimpse into the traditional lifestyles of Chinese immigrants
and provides a stark contrast to the modern urban landscape of George Town.
The Clan Jetties of Penang, located in George Town, are a series of waterfront
settlements built on stilts along the edge of the island. These jetties were established
by Chinese immigrants who arrived in Penang in the 19th century. Each jetty is named
after a Chinese clan that settled there, such as the Chew Jetty, Tan Jetty, and Lim Jetty.
