Penang Chew Jetty - UNESCO Heritage Site

Penang - This Chew Jetty is an UNESCO Heritage site with its habitat of traditional Penang Chinese family living above the waters for centuries.   It's one of the best well kept and structurally safe jetty to visit.   This is a must sit for many tourist which always cause big headache and noise to residents living there.

homes on stilts
It is amazing with all the rickety and movement of the waves, the planks and houses are still holding up.  This Jetty started once as a wooden passageway and slowly evolved into a cluster of houses perch above the sea shores by stilts.  This UNESCO site is uniquely frozen in a time zone with no regard to the urban development that is taking place around Penang.

Beautiful scenery
