Jetties and sunset
Weld Quay
Weld Quay
Weld Quay, Chew Jetty, Lim Jetty
Weld Quay: the clan jetties on stilts, the ferry and the view to the mainland. Evening works better than day. At noon the quay has no shade.
Why go
Come for sunset. In the morning only the ferry is worth it. The jetties themselves wake up later.
Where to stay
Stay if you want the shore outside the door. The old-town temples are two blocks in, not on the water.

Chew Jetty is the longest, south of the ferry. The others are shorter and stand in a row to the north.
Where to have it
- ChinaHouse — Три шопхауса между двумя улицами сшиты двором: Нарелл Макмёртри держит одну анфиладу, и по дороге вглубь кофе сменяется вином и вечерней музыкой.
