Street Art - Folklore by the Sea Mural

The "Folklore by the Sea" mural is a large and significant piece of public art located at the entrance to the Chew Jetty at Weld Quay. This beautiful and detailed mural depicts scenes from local folklore and tells the story of the early life of the Chinese immigrant communities who settled on these waterfront jetties. The artwork captures the close relationship that the jetty dwellers have with the sea and the rich tapestry of beliefs and traditions that they brought with them from their homeland.

This mural adds a wonderful layer of cultural storytelling to the experience of visiting the historic clan jetties. It serves as a visual introduction to the heritage of the community, celebrating their resilience, their maritime culture, and their enduring connection to the sea.
