- Pick up from your hotel in the George Town area to begin your half-day tour of George Town's main attractions and picturesque sights. You will visit the Clan Jetties located along the waterfront of George Town. Experience firsthand the stilt houses along the coast where the living heritage of the Chew Clan carries on their daily life.
- Visit the former house of the Chinese Captain, the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, and marvel at their collections, which are not found elsewhere. This elite house holds many recollections of memories from when Chinese immigrants intermarried with the locals, creating a fusion of East and local cultures and giving rise to new traditions.
