Penang's Clan Jetty

#penang
Tan Jetty is located at 48 Pengkalan Weld, 10300 Georgetown, it is around 650 meters 7 minutes walk from Weld Quay Jetty Bus Terminal.
Each jetty was named after a particular Chinese clan and the unique communities that emerged mostly engaged in Maritime related work such as transporting cargo fish and goods.
Tan Jetty is the longest among its other counterparts as it has a wooden pier that stretches from the mainland all the way out to the sea. Taking a walk through the village can be very relaxing.
As you walk to the end of Tan Jetty, you will see a floating village on the left hand side and a red house, that is Mazu Temple ( Goddess of Sea ).
