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.

A real sense of history. Have just read Eng's books and enjoyed reliving the bustling commercial times. A few shops and places to take away food. I hope he area is properly preserved. There were tourists - mainly from a large cruise ship. Fantastic view of the harbour and at low tide wading birds.

At the entrance of the jetty is a coffee shop that had the most friendly coffee shop owner selling drinks . The wanton noodles were very unique and delicious . They sell out by 1130 am . Then you come to a temple and then a long jetty with both sides selling souvenirs and drinks and food . You reach to the end of the jetty about 80 m away and see the sea and the boats . Overall the best thing here is the wanton noodles - a must try .

Among all the water villages in George Town, Chew Jetty is the most popular and touristy. A stroll along the boardwalk and view of sunset has become a standard tourist itinerary. It is still a pleasant place to explore with lots of souvenir shops and stores catering to foreigners.

Pleasant enough place, a bit smaller than we thought it would be, but unique to visit. Lots of little shops open from 10am. A few restaurants open later in the day. At the end of the jetty there are some nice views of Penang Bay. Before the entrance there is a beautiful temple area

A cultural event to experience the Clan Jetty in Penang. The bustle and views from the Jetty is something worth experiencing. If you’re fortunate you may catch a glimpse of how the residents actually live by discreetly peeking inside their residences as you walk past. The area is very photogenic and you’ll get some wonderful content shots.

When in Penang, a visit to Chew Jetty should be included on your itinerary. It's a small area beside the river where a mixture of residential houses and small shopfronts coexist side by side. A visit won't take much time out of your schedule, and it's good to get a glimpse of the history of the water dwellers who have lived on this jetty and several nearby jetties for centuries. You can read more on my website, including how to reach Chew Jetty and what you can see and do once you are there.

I didn't really like this at all. Very different from the photographs. It was nice to see the colourful cluster of houses perch above the sea shores by stilts and some Chinese temples. You also get nice views. Other than that, there were mainly cheap tourist shops selling junk and the usual eateries. I did what most people were doing, simply walked to the end of the pier and then back again. I stopped to see a few small temples along the way.

We had a great time exploring the jettie. Lots of little shops for shopping with good prices. The shop owners will negotiate prices. Nice seeing the boats and nice walk along the pier
