Really neat place, historical for Penang showcasing the life of the Chinese fisherman that arrived in Georgetown. There are 5 of them, Chiew seems to be the real popular one, probably because Armenian St. ends at the road across from it. Visit them all, some are quieter than the others. Great food places though so eat

Chew Jetty is the most developed and best preserved of all jetties, although other jetties are perhaps more picturesque. :-) There are now a total of 7 or 8 preserved clan jetties in George Town. Clan Jetties are villages on the water (stilts). They were built and inhabited by Chinese immigrants. There are several shops and cafes in the village.
On the shore, in front of the entrance, there is a small Chinese temple (Temple of the Monkey God). There are also several restaurants in the area.
There is not tickets to enter this area.

The most popular of the clan jetties. It consist of a short walk on the pier with souvenir shops are both sides of the walkway. Takes about 30 mins at most to walk around unless you really want to slow shop. Some shops have more bargains than the others. It’s up to you to decide what you want.

Pai Ti Kong, annual Chinese New Year celebration in George Town Penang lasted past midnight. We have so much fun. It is quite a cultural experience and representation of the vibrant street food culture in Malaysia.

Staying next to an attraction has its perks! You don't need to wake up early and still get to see the sunrise! With the Chew Jetty just right opposite my accommodation, I strolled over to grab a light breakfast before the morning exploration. The alleys were still empty when I arrived and was able to do a hyperlapse walkthrough to the end of the jetty. Tour crowd came around 9am but I'm already done with my business here hehe

If you looking for an Instagramable place, you should visit this place then. It has a temple at the entrance. You can walk through the jetty until end of it. There is a souvenirs shops along the jetty itself.

Just in time for sunset. Good vibes. Feel free to take a rest on the planks at the end of the jetty and enjoy the seaview.

The crowd flocked to the jetty and few quiet houses formed a sharp contrast. Most traditional old wooden houses become little shops selling food and souvenirs makes this place commercialised. Feeling sad for residents here who don't want to be disturbed but some places like this are really attractive and good for visitors to walk around. Enjoying the gentle sea breeze and eating some good food, what a life.

A short jetty. Nevertheless a refreshing change of scenery. Wooden planks are well maintained.

The culture was really preserved and the place was clean. But prepare for a hot weather.
