Our First Visit To Chew Jetty at Weld Quay, Penang.

Once we have loaded our luggage into our car, our next destination is the Chew Jetty. This is the first visit for most of us. Chew Jetty is the largest of the clan jetties. Each jetty is named after a Chinese clan who chose to settle here way before the Japanese occupation. Chew Jetty consists of elevated wooden houses, temples, etc.

One of the houses along the walkway.

Most of the houses along the walkway run some kind of business such as selling coconut water, iced water, etc.

I don't know what they are called but they have finely grounded peanuts as filling.

We stopped to buy a packet of  these. 

You can click on this short video to see how they wrapped the peanut filling.

I tried to take a snapshot of a jelly fish swimming near the surface of the water. I hope you can see the outline of the jelly fish. That's the best I can manage with a smartphone camera.

Houses and jetties on stilts.

In the far distance, we can see the Penang Port and the cruise ships.

Rows of elevated wooden houses separated by a narrow waterway.

We ended our visit to Chew Jetty by walking back to the entrance through the same narrow walkway.

Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate!

The highway to hell is broad,

and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way.

But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow,

and only a few ever find it.

(Matthew 7:13-14, The Living Bible-TLB)
