This bridge is the most famous among the Six Clans Jetties of Penang, built by Chinese immigrants of the Chew clan in the late 19th century. The stilted wooden houses hovering above the sea create a unique aquatic community landscape. Visitors can stroll along the narrow wooden walkways, immersing themselves in the rich Peranakan culture, while enjoying breathtaking views of the Penang Strait. A paradise for photographers, it also offers authentic local delicacies like char kway teow and rojak.
