Clan Jetties of Penang Review

Penang Airport landed, took the bus to Georgetown to drop off, first stroll to the surname bridge. This area is by the sea, very close to Jetty Bas Terminal. High-footed wooden houses built by the sea, wooden piles hit the silt on the shore, and wooden houses built in the coastal areas form the road between houses. When the tide is high, the seawater submerges the silt and walks on the wooden rows, below is the sea. Among the many surname bridges in Penang, the "surname Zhouqiao" is well maintained and the most famous. The architectural age of "surname Zhouqiao" is in the 19th century, with a total length of more than 300 meters, and there are nearly 80 families. There are also many bridges surnamed Linqiao, surnamed Chenqiao, and surnamed Liqiao around Zhoushiqiao. These wooden plank roads are first in the offshore neutral pile, first for wood, later changed to cement columns, piles on the wooden plank, wooden beams on the house. Every wooden stake here, every rope, is a witness to history. There are shops selling crafts and drinks on both sides of the wooden road, along the wooden road to the coast, sunny weather fishermen will go fishing here, here continue the drift and struggle of generations of Chinese.

great place to understand the local Chinese cultures in Penang with free entry

When you are visiting Georgetown and you would like to take a ride in one of the authentic Trishaws, let the owner of the Trishaw decide where you are going. There is a big chance you will visit the Clan Piers or Clan Jetties and their Floating Village. This is a complete village on stilts above the water where Chinese clans live. In the 19th century many Chinese immigrants came to Malaysia. To enlarge their chances clans were established, so together they could survive in their new environment.

The cultural capital, Penang, a world cultural heritage, is very worthy of Chinese cultural journey. Near the gerogr town Everbright Tower, close to the sea, is a bridge built by Chinese Zhou surnamed people over the years, connecting many people's homes, it is worth visiting.

The scenery is standard and the scenery of the seaside is beautiful. There are 6 bridges in total, similar to a road built on the sea, and there are buildings on both sides of the sea. Zhou surnamed Bridge is very commercial, both sides are hawker Chen surnamed Bridge is very beautiful, there is no hawker, it is a little afraid (no handrails, a road leads directly to the sea) Generally recommended to go
