Hean Boo Thean Temple is a recent Chinese temple built at one of the clan jetties in Weld Quay, George Town. The temple is built on top of the coastal waters and during high tide season, the temple looks as if it is floating on top of the sea.
There are still many fishermen making a living along the coast of the Penang island. The island is located on the Straits of Malacca with easy access to the Andaman sea, making it an ideal place for fishery activities.
