Clan Jetties of Penang
The Clan Jetties of Penang is a tourist attraction featuring villages built above water, a historically and culturally significant spot worth a visit.

This is, however, with the exception of the Ong clan, where it remains as a work jetty rather than a residence place.

Located near the Clan Jetties are various eateries to provide you with a nice, hearty meal.
