Why people love Clan Jetties of Penang
Mahirah **********

Worth every penny especially if you are a nature lover. Better come in the morning (before 8am) if you hate crowded. I would suggest for you to get a fast lane ticket for train if you can afford it. Please have a light breakfast too before your walk. No signal/weak telco signal, so please at least prepare some cash with you (in case you want to buy something).

The TOP was a great experience even at level 65 with a prelude of the glass walk experience. Level 68 which is where there is the Rainbow Skywalk was also magnificent.

It was a fusion of trick art and upside down museum plus some elements of magic. A place to kill time if you have about an hour to spare. The staff will guide and help you to take photos.
