#penang Lee Jetty is located at 57-58 Pengkalan Weld, 10300 Georgetown, and it is around 550 meters 7 minutes walk from Weld Quay Jetty Bus Terminal. The clan jetties of Penang were originally built by the Chinese Hokkien immigrants from the Fujian province of China in the 19th century, these settlements on stilts along Weld Quay are now over a century old.

Walking around Penang, I found a community called Lee Jetty. The houses in the community are built on stilts into the sea, neat and beautiful. In front, there is a shrine that is probably the ancestors of the Lee family. It is very quiet here, not crowded. When you walk to the bridge, you can see a panoramic view. You can also see the floating temple on the right. Try stopping by to take some pictures. I guarantee you will get beautiful pictures. Location: Pengkalan Weld, not far from Street Art. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #Penang #PenangMalaysia #TravelPenangByYourself #WhereToGoInPenang #PlacesToVisitInPenang

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.

#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!

#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
