Clan Jetties in Penang, Malaysia, are unique waterfront settlements which are part of the island's cultural and historical heritage. These traditional stilted wooden villages are located along the eastern coast of Penang's George Town, along Weld Quay.

The jetties are named after Chinese clan, and they were originally built by Chinese immigrants who came to Penang in the 19th century. The clans included the Chew, Lee, Lim, Tan, Ong, and Yeoh families, among others. These clans built their homes on stilts over the water to provide easy access to their fishing boats and to establish a strong community bonding to prevent bullies.

Today, the Clan Jetties have evolved into a popular tourist attraction in Penang, drawing visitors interested in exploring the history and unique architecture of these traditional living communities. Each jetty has its own character and charm, with colorful houses, shops, and temples that reflect the cultural heritage and spiritual belief of its respective clan.

Exploring the Clan Jetties provides a glimpse into Penang's rich cultural history with opportunities to sample local snacks and grab some souvenirs. It's also a great place to enjoy scenic views of the waterfront and capture some memorable photos of this picturesque area especially during sunset.
