Chew Jetty — worth it or too touristy now?

Instagram made it look magical. Read it's a living village annoyed by tourists. Still go?

Still worth 30–45 minutes at golden hour — stilt houses over the water, fishing boats, George Town skyline behind. It is a residential clan jetty, not a theme park: keep voices down, don't enter marked private homes, skip the trinket sellers at the entrance if you want a calmer walk. Chew Jetty is the most photogenic; Lim and Tan jetties nearby are quieter. Go weekday sunset over Saturday midday tour buses. Combine with Weld Quay ferry terminal walk — don't treat it like a museum selfie factory.

RM3–5 donation box at entrance — pay it, maintains the walkway.
