    A must-visit in Penang, it has a very unique feel and is very photogenic. There are many shops run by Chinese people, and you can communicate in Chinese and simple English. It is very comfortable to find a coffee shop for a smoothie on a hot day. There is a good Hainanese chicken rice nearby, which is not expensive and tastes amazing.

    If you enjoy quirky, interactive experiences, the Penang 3D Trick Art Museum is worth a visit. It’s especially fun for families and groups who love taking creative photos. However, if you prefer more immersive or high-tech attractions, you might find it a bit basic.📌 Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐🎟 Recommended for: Families, couples, and anyone who loves taking fun pictures!

    Malaysia🇲🇾Penang【Clan Jetties Of Penang】 Clan Jetties Of Penang Most of these bridges were built in the late 19th century. In the past, when the Chinese came to Penang, they made a living by the sea, built bridges and built houses on them. Because people with the same surname lived on the same bridge, it was called the Clan Jetties. The so-called "bridge" is not a bridge, but a wooden house built on the sea. The Clan Jetties are like several small villages, with a strong kampung style. Transportation: Take the free bus CAT in the city and get off at Weld Quay Station Tickets: Free

    I think this place is worth a visit, the main temple is very beautiful and I loved the murals and carvings on the wall. However I thought there would be more halls and areas to visit.
