• The Clan Jetties are one of the last bastions of old Chinese settlements with enclaves of wooden stilt houses perched over the sea. With the construction of the quay in 1882, the waterfront was developed and settlements grew around these foundations. Gradually each jetty is identified with certain clans. The Chew Jetty is the largest and most well-known, with the most number of stilt houses and longest walkway as well as a temple.

  • St. George's Chruch is set next door to the Penang State Museum & Art Gallery. Built in 1817 by the East India Company using convict labour, it is Southeast Asia's oldest Anglican church and one of the oldest buildings in Penang. The architecture and design is largely Greek and relatively unpretentious. This gracefully proportioned building was designed by Captain Robert Smith (a military engineer) whose beautiful oil paintings still hang in the Penang State Museum. The interior is a cool pastel blue with marble floors and outside the main building on the church grounds is a memorial to Sir Francis Light in the form of a Greek temple - an elegant pavilion with definite Victorian style to it. It was build in 1886 on the centenary of the founding of Penang; just down the road is the double-spired Cathedral of the Assumption.
