Visited years ago and it seems to be a little bit touristy with souvenir shops and the like which I don't remember. Enough signage around to show the interesting history of the jetties. Well worth a visit.

The Chew Jetty is off a busy main street where the hustle and bustle happen, however it’s more tranquil as you walk towards the end of the jetty. Shops and cafes are lined up along the walkway however a number of them were closed in the afternoon. However they are a bit commercial with merchandise targeting tourists. It’s worth a visit to see another side of Penang - the fishing communities. There are other clans’ jetty along the street but the Chew clan is the biggest. Take your time to experience; it is a living community with 75 families. It’s not a museum but a fully operational waterfront settlements.

Prosperity is highly valued by Chinese so why not take advantage of tourists crowding on your doorstep. Clothes, souvenirs, ice cream and even short boat trips are offered on the second jetty. The temple in front is well maintained and surrounded by food stalls.

We walked the length of the jetty in the midday heat so i would definitely recommend coming earlier. The houses are on stilts in the water and are passed down the generations, never up for sale, so it affords a glimpse into the past as well as the present. small shops ar operated by the families along the way and at the end there is a small temple. Good for views around the bay.

We walked from street art all the way to Chew Jetty. My guess Chew Jetty offers lot more to see among the other 2 Jetty. Authentic place, lots of souvenirs shop along the way up to the end of the Jetty. At the end of the Chew Jetty is open sea where we can view Penang Bridge, awesome for snap shoot and instagrammable spots.

It’s one of six wooden clan jetties in George Town. It features buildings and are inhabited by members of Penang’s Chinese immigrant community. Ancient Chinese traditions are being kept alive in this community including the ancient Taoist religion.

The jetty was an interesting place - it was homely yet vibrant at the same time. There are some eateries around for those who want some local food; and many small stalls that sell knick-knacks and snacks. It was a pretty small place and not crowded when we went at about 10am. Takes only about 15-20 minutes to cover the whole place if you are not going into the shops or the temples. Good place to come to feel the different vibes of a place stuck in time.
