In Penang there are six clan communities lining in a row along Weld Quay. They are known as the Clan Jetties which were built up during the 19th century by the Chinese immigrants. All the residents in these clan communities stay in wooden houses perched above the sea by stilts. These historical and unique houses over the water are inter linked by wooden walkways.
The clans at the jetties are Lim, Chew, Tan, Yeoh, Lee and the Mixed Surname Jetty. I visited the Tan jetty also known as Seh Tan Keo (in Hokkien) during one of my food outing.

I enjoyed this gorgeous sunset in the balcony of this house which double up as a restaurant serving delicious Thai Food. The place run by Madam Lee is open daily except Tuesdays, from 11am till 9pm.
Old wooden houses build close to each other
At the end of the jetty you are able to capture a panoramic view of the port and the ships anchored in the distance.
