An alley in the Clan Jetties of Penang, Malaysia, which is a complete village on stilts above the water. In the 19th century many Chinese immigrants went to Malaysia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are a total of 6 of these villages, in which every village lives one clan.  (February 2017)

Chew Jetty is actually a village built on stilts and these were built by some pioneer Chinese immigrants. Each jetty comprises of row houses on stilts joined by wooden walkways over the water. These ‘water villages’, set up more than a century ago, house the descendants from Fukien Province in China, who shared common historical, geographical and clan origins.

Checked in was very smooth, "Yaya" from the checked in counter was very helpful and she even call the room to check is everything ok. Breakfast spread was superb. The only setback was the pillow for my 4 nights stay, to soft, maybe hotel can invest for a better pillow, a bit firm should be nice.
