The surname bridge does not refer to a single bridge, but a general term for many bridges. Back then, the Chinese went to Penang to engage in trade and fishing, and lived on the sea, so they built bridges and built houses on them, forming unique small villages. Because people with the same surname live in the same bridge, it is called the surname bridge. The houses of the family are built on the sea, the bottom is supported by piles, and the bridges are laid with wooden boards as the streets of the village, connecting with the land. A hundred years later, these huts still exist, next to the Penang port, watching the ships come and go, and continue to write legends. Now there are surnames Wang Qiao, Lin Qiao, Zhou Qiao, Chen Qiao, Li Qiao, miscellaneous Qiao Qiao and Yang Qiao. This surname bridge has survived to this day amid the constant debate over whether it should be demolished or not.
