Due to the nice weather this morning, we decided to visit Tan jetty. We plan to visit the other clan jetties after visiting Chew Jetty a few weeks ago. See my earlier post “Visit Chew Jetty”.

Ha! If you travel to Penang, do not forget to visit Chew Jetty, Tan Jetty and other clan jetties. Really thankful we can find these traditional Chinese waterfront and amazing views in Penang.

We noticed that there is a Ma Zhu temple at the end of the each jetty. Ma Zhu is worshipped as The Goddess of The Sea to protect all fishermen.

At Tan jetty you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Penang Bridge, the ferries and the Chew Jetty nearby. I asked the fisherman whether they spotted any dolphin. He said yes, they spotted dolphins and even otters relax at the jetty. Wow! I wish I can see the dolphins and otters. Of course, when the dolphins are here there will be fewer fish.

When we wanted to leave the jetty, the fisherman pointed at the Sun Princess Cruise Ship and said the ship had just arrived in Penang. We quickly snapped some photos. He said the weather is truly cold at night.

Hope you like some of these photos.

We walked around Chew Jetty today and really touched by the beauty of this traditional Chinese waterfront settlement.  The compact old wooden houses, the fishing boats, the wooden walkways, etc.  Ha!  You can find a hair salon here too.

Chew Jetty, the living heritage site you should visit if you travel to Penang.   Chew Jetty is one of the clan jetties besides Lee Jetty, Tan Jetty etc.

You can even enjoy the beautiful view of Penang bridge and ferries from the jetty and of course this is a nice place to play hide & seek.  I am not joking. There is a group of people participated in treasure hunt at Chew Jetty today.

There is even a home stay program and you might want to enjoy a boat ride and BBQ here too.

We plan to visit this heritaga site again and other clan jetties.
