This is a very nice old jetty with a fantastic view. The wooden path to the jetty is rickety but stable. There are some shops selling locally made souvenirs. The view from the jetty of the harbour and fishing boats is pleasant. Nice place to go.

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.

Walk the plank to the end of the quay where fisherfolk live on stilts above the dark murky waters of the harbour. Enjoy the rising stench of mud and the sewerage of the local water village as you work out an appetite for a big breakfast bowl. Ice cream anyone?

Nice port view. The area is not as big as I first thought. Small vendors alongside the wooden path. Please support the locals as much as you can. Buy drink bottles etc

Lovely walk down a narrow pier where you will find food, ice cream, hand made gifts, bags you name it. We walked down here every day as it was nice to interact with the locals. Just before entering the chew Jetty on the left is a man who serves noodles and rice for 7rm we are there everyday. At the end is a small temple and a lovely sea view

A living cultural artefact, still filled with people staying there today, of a community who built their property into the sea. It was nice and the path was shaded, although it was low tide and the place smelt of stagnant water. Would be improved with better environmental control, although I had to say the area was pretty litter free.

'Chew Jetty' is the most popular of a number of similar jetties in this area. It is a photographer's delight with many shops and restaurants, numerous views (some nice, some not so nice!). Close to the Jetty Food Court, it's well worth a visit.

Amazing view from the jetty. No doubt. Maybe I went a bit too early that the shops were mostly closed. But it's okay as it was less crowded. Do make sure you go to the very end to enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean and the mainland as well.

A great tourist attraction for a leisure walk and sight-seeing. Walk to the end of the jetty through the wooden walkway and you will be rewarded with beautiful up sea views. Great to go in the morning and evening too. Just don't be noisy and interrupt the residents. 😃

As an historical place is interesting how people emigrated from China to the Malay Peninsula and how they grouped by families in houses over the sea and the influence they had in the city. The main problem is that there is only one sign with this information and the rest is a main hallway full of shops. If you want to see a more authentic one, you can find in this same Jetty, just take the path to the right as soon as you enter the place, is full of houses not oriented to sell you anything.

Visited the jetty at about 6.30pm so I didn't managed to visit the shops as most of them are closed/closing in progress. However, the jetty does allow you to see the sea, which make it a very good scenic place for photography. If you like to fully explore the jetty (or the series of jetties found along the stretch), it might be useful to cater at least half day exploring the locations. Accurate as of August 2023.

Despite the horrible start (British did not allow Chinese labourers to live on land) these communities built on stilts anchored in the water still thrive as living quarters and small businesses. Interesting murals and a temple at both ends of the jetty. Chew Jetty is the only one that allows tourists.

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.

Nice place. They live there, so give some respect to them. Mostly crowded than other jetty. Try the nutmeg drink. It's kinda refreshing. The taste is better than I expected. It's said that's good for your body too

Probably the most popular out of the clan jetties, it still retains the stilts houses with residents living in it. Some of the houses become partly souvenir/snacks stand which can be quite touristy, but nevertheless it's still a nice place to drop by for a walk to learn more about the history of the clan jetties. We visited very early morning (9am) to beat the crowd and heat and so not many shops were open and it's still quite calm and peaceful. There are a few street arts and nice lantern installation in the alley, and a temple near the entrance as well. No entrance fee, but be mindful of noise and respectful by not taking pictures without their permission as people live there.

Amazing view from Jetty,nice View sunset and sunrise, suitable for family gathering, photoshoots gallery & Wedding photo talking,a lot Souvenirs,food shop in here,Nice & Awesome 👏👏👏

houses on top of water. nice place to take pictures with great view. but nothing much to do other than sigh seeing. only took less than 30 mins at this to take picture and go. park opposite the road. the entrance is just beside road.

Nothing to see at all other than trespassing other people’s living area. Not any view to speak off. Parking is difficult. Traffic is congested. Really not worth the stop.

UNESCO Heritage site with many tourists during weekend, there is many shop set up along the jetty and nice place to take Instagram photos

A very old jetty that smells a bit funny but overall a nice visit and it offers good views. If you walk the way to the end you can get decent view of the other side of Penang. People still live here so good to be respectful of them . Some of the shops sell interesting stuff as well

If you are nearby, then by all means go and spend a few minute to walk up and down. There's a small temple and decent view at the end but not much else. Some tourist shops. Not worth travelling here specifically.

Free of charge with a great view. Recommend for another lovely sightseeing in Georgetown. Buy souvenir here with cheap price

Visited here recently from a brief cruise stopover. Heard about this place. Basically it’s two rows of houses on water. You can’t really spot the difference if it’s low tide till you walk to the end of rows. Along the way you will find some houses selling apparels, handicrafts among other stuffs at their house front. Tourists usually go to end of rows to take pictures or videos. There’s a Chinese temple at the entrance of the jetty too.

Nothing interesting. It is a small stretch with some houses on each side when you are walking in. I suppose this might be an interesting experience for some tourist. The views are okay but we reached the end in 10 mins and walked back. There are some shops are the front before going in and inside it is mostly small souvenir stores and those selling ice cream.

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

The most visited jetty.. As one walks on the wooden platform from the front to the back, one sees a lot of souvenir shops ,shops selling cold drinks, ice kacang, ice creams. At the end of the walk, one can see Penang bridge.

They have a temple there at the entrance and along the way to the jetty, you can find shops that selling some local crafted items. Was very hot when we visiting, it would be great to go in the morning or evening when there’s not too hot.

When I made my way through the bustling narrow streets and arrived here, I was stunned by a series of large red lanterns inscribed with the Chinese character "周" (Zhou). The Zhou Bridge area is a gathering place for Zhou surname immigrants from China and their descendants. This was the first time I had seen such a gathering of the Zhou surname outside of China. There's a very beautiful temple here, "Chao Yuan Gong," which enshrines the deity "Baosheng Dadi." This deity has no direct connection to the Zhou surname, but most of the donations come from Zhou surname immigrants. The temple is very clean and beautiful, with walls on both sides adorned with relief sculptures of deities worshipped by devotees, exquisitely crafted and lifelike. Walking past the temple, one would traverse a long wooden boardwalk built over the beach, flanked by narrow, simple houses or shops on both sides, with many homes having shrines inside. At the end of the road lies a dock where tourists can pay to take boat trips for photography. I struck up a conversation with two elderly male staff members; they are descendants of Zhou surname immigrants but no longer know the specific place in China from where their ancestors came.

Visited this place on a Mon morning and there were not many people. A very windy and quiet place. There are some cafes, gift shops, and coffeeshops along the way. Can go there for a meal if you want. Bring insect repellent if you're someone who attracts mozzies easily!

Have to come here! Day would be easier to take beautiful photos but weather may be a little hot, so wear a cap/ a hat! Easy to locate and free entry. Beautiful seaview😍

Nice view and scenery... suitable for photoshoot. So much souvenier to share with families and friends.. They also have variety beverages and ice cream too.

There's no specific sign board ornthe way to this chew jetty coz its located on the restaurant way, i would suggest to visit this wonderful place, really nice experience when you walked on the tree pathway, the sea view made a moment that you never forget 😀, never been here before we used waze to reach here then we parked our car near the Chinese temple after the restaurant entrance which cost us about rm5 per car, the uncle to look after the parking area was nice and helpful, he told us the way to go chew jetty. Never forget his kindness ❤. Apart from that there's few shops located on the jetty where you can buy souvenirs for your loved ones. I've post pictures of the shop that i buy something for my cute pie, you may drop by there she really good. The attractive was the end part of the jetty where you can take so many pictures there even you can see the old penang Bridge. Dont worry there's toilet also available there incase of emergency 😉

Nice small jeti, not that crowded now during this rmco period. The small shop at the end of the pier only sells drinks but the shop owner lady is very nice.

I just 1st time came, dont know what exactly excitement before covid-19.. but for sure post covid-19 it just like cowboy town...

Great place to visit , fisherman's Village with great places to take photo and a wonderful bridge view

(Translated by Google) Good, the place is neatly arranged. Along the left and right, many are selling souvenirs too ... The houses are on the pier .. In this place there is a famous food selling .. noodles in a big bowl .. At the end of the pier, there is a temple. (Original) Bagus, tempatnya tertata rapih. Sepanjang kiri kanan banyak yg jualan souvenir juga.. Rumah2 nya berada di atas dermaga.. Di tempat ini ada yg jual makanan yang terkenal.. mie dalam mangkuk yang besar..

View is nice. Unfortunately during MCO, the jetty is closed for public

Good place to relax

Its a lifestyle of one of the clan who travelled from fujian to malaysia almost 2 centuries ago and still living in this wooden jetty. Worth visit and learn about their journey.

Nice

Nice breakfast hawker food around; fairly priced except the cleanliness can be improved. Tried the wan tan noodles this morning.

Lovely place to visit. Peaceful.

Last time i go its under construction, so i dont know where to enter. But before that, it such a wonderful place with some houseshop, if u want to watch sunset, this is not a suitable place 😊

Amazing view

All the food here are good ..the wan ton mee, noodles itself is a class of its own

Went here with my gf, still an interesting place despite covid closure of shops; the lack of crowd makes this place quite peaceful waiting for a sunset

Currently covid-19 situation

Unique look on how the houses are above the water with just using simply woods to build it. There are many souvenir shops. But most of them closed during this covid time

A must visit place during the sunset. The scene is breathtaking.

Greay place to take photo. But I dont recommend to go on weekend, on weekdays also have to wait for a photo good spot.

Worth a stroll if you have the time and does not know what else you could do in Penang.

A short place for drop by market length 10 slow walk with a small gift and local street food to enjoy. At the end of jetty also can found a Chinese temple. Please do click like if the info useful

amazing view from jetty, great place to take photo and the place was unique, how the house was build above water just using simply wood. also many souvenir shop here.

So chilly. Quiet. Would love to spend more time here.

Not a long jetty. Take a chill walk after all your makan makan.

A small area of houses built on stilts and narrow planks passageway. You need only 20mins to explore this place.

This is a well maintained place, lot of tourists and crowded but it’s worth the visit. Also one of the world heritage.

nice place to take photo 😆 but nothing much here but nice place to visit.

We believe this is one of the oldest and the largest of the clan jetties, great place to walk around after lunch in George Town.

Open to tourist for visit since inter state travel is allowed on October.

The place has become more commercialized. Pros is there's stuff to browse and quaint little cafe to cool down and chill. Cons is there's no more nostalgic feels of village life. The mural arts are definitely very instagramable.

I really like the cozy atmosphere of the streets and little shops. I bought there very nice souvenirs for reasonable price. The street art was also cool. You can rent there a boat to show you the coast as well.

Chew jetty, a famous place. But actually is the resident place, like Johor Kukup. Some residents will selling souvenir there.

Beautiful location, however I do not recommend as you're disturbing other's neighborhood. Nothing much there as well, you can sit boat for sightseeing service, and there's a few shops where you can buy souvenirs.

Enjoyed my journey at chew jetty. The price of souvenir really cheap than georgetown shop. Really satisfied. Parking uncle are so nice and help a lot. RM3 per entry. Overall was so good experience. 👍👍👍👍

Your trip to Penang is incomplete if you did not visit the Chew Jetty. A beautiful insight into houses on stilts. Worth every minute!

It was calm and peaceful place to sit while waiting for the sun to set down. The parking entry was RM5 per entry and the uncle there helped us to get in and out the parking smoothly.

Worth to go and take a look at the house and poles that supports the structure. Very unique living area, full of old atmosphere. Especially nice around sunset time. Just not quite like the small store in front of the house, make the space too crowded. But it's their way of any earning, I cannot complain that much.

a must visit place for the calm sea vibes. entrance is free and you can wander around. please respect the place as there are families staying in the neighbourhood. dont make loud noise and enjoy the view! 🤘🏻

Only a few shops at the entrance have wares for sale and the rest of the jetty seems a tad lost on its own. But the old world charm is still tangible and worth a quick visit.

Interesting place but v touristy. Quite clean n safe but nothing much. Handmade ice cream is very good. Check my photo to pick d right one. Souvenirs r not unique n cost ~RM 1+ more than other shops.

It was a nice experience visiting the jetty. There were older homes lined up in the jetty and people went about their usual daily chores. When the waves were slightly higher because of the winds, water was spilling through the gaps in the wooden planks, it was so nice to see that. There’s a small temple towards the end where the plan ends and the ferries are lined up. There are a few shops as well. It was a really nice experience, a must visit if you’re in Georgetown.

Had a comfortable walk at the jetty near the down town. Not too crowded, didn't manage to take the boat outside to the sea. The view is fantastic and you can hear the calm water splashing. Popular place to visit while you're in Penang.

This is a unique place...wandering through shops and house fronts of people who live on the jetty. There are some nice souvenir shops and some little sweet food places too. Worth a wander through. It does not cost anything, but you can donate if you wish. At the end, there is a nice view of the Penang Bridge.

Touristy area. Water Village. Quite a nice walk. You can see people living there going about their day as usual. There are few souvenirs shops with some selling cheaper than other tourist places.

Lovely walk down a narrow pier where you will find food, ice cream, hand made gifts, bags you name it. At the end is a small temple and a lovely sea view. Opposite there is a food court where you can find lots of local foods there.

Loved the houses on stilts at the chew jetty and also the beautiful view of the sea. You can get refreshments, hats and souvenirs in the shops on the jetty. We walked the length of the jetty in the midday heat so i would definitely recommend coming earlier.

Time seemed to have stood still and it’s still back in 1970s or 80s where a simpler life existed. That is the time warp you experience when meandering through the corridors at Chew Jetty. Recommend to come early morning before the tourists descend and enjoy the peace and somewhat tranquil surroundings.

An old jetty that still houses shacks, houses and shops. It has ambience of old age memories and history but lacks concern for health & safety. There are large gaps in the wooden planks in the walkway, not sufficient safety fences or barriers and loose walkway boards in several places.

This jetty was made by Chinese inhabitants and the houses here were built on stilts. Very interesting to walk down the jetty past the houses and look out to the sea. A few shops, food places, drinks you can buy. Little bits of art you can see on the walls. Free admission. It is touristy so maybe go just before dark or first thing in the morning

Was a great experience as you get to haves glance of the local fishermen’s houses and enjoy the atmosphere there. You might find it too crowed as tourists are walking and shopping on a very narrow alleyway.

It is basically a small alley of two sided houses, with ocean views. Went there around sunset, shops were already closed, what was left was a beautiful sky n clouds, and some interesting house with murals.
