Chew Jetty is the biggest of the waterfront settlements in George Town. It was created in the middle of the 19th Century, in a very different Penang from what it is today. The last community jetties were only established in the 1960's. Each of the clan jetties has a small shrine to pay homage to the sea deities. Chew Jetty is the only clan jetty left that continues to have observe the once a year annual worship of its Temple Deity and the Jade Emperor-Thnee Kong, or "god of the skies".
In the southern zone, the landscape changes from Modern to Traditional. We can see the really traditional Clan Jetties living style.When I was sketching on the Jetty, I heard the sounds of water splashing going “Chap,Chap” from underneath, Wow!! There was a one couple of iguana in the water. That length was one and half meter!
