#2月好去地方2025 Penang Clan Bridge, a place full of historical traces and cultural characteristics, is definitely worth slowing down and savoring. The Clan Bridge is a historical witness to the early Chinese people who migrated to Southeast Asia and settled down in Penang. These bridges are wooden houses villages built on the sea where Chinese people with the same surname live together.
