Clan Jetties of Weld Quay

Six wooden jetties extending into the Strait of Malacca house the last surviving Hokkien clan communities in George Town — families of the Chew, Lim, Tan, Lee, and other clans whose ancestors built stilted homes and clan temples over the water in the 19th century. The Chew Jetty is the largest and most atmospheric, its narrow boardwalks lined with ancestral altars and fishing boats.
