Gat Lebuh Chulia

Chulia Street Ghaut is the extension of Chulia Street following the land reclamation of the late 19th century (between 1888 and 1904). Until then, Chulia Street Ghaut was just a path in the sand leading towards the shore. Yeoh Kongsi faced directly the sea, and was accessible by this path. The landfill of the late 19th century created a proper road out of Chulia Street Ghaut (but it remained untarred for a few more decades), extending it all the way to the newly created Weld Quay.

Getting there

Chulia Street Ghaut is easily accessible on foot from Weld Quay Bus Terminal. From the terminal, turn left, walk along Pengkalan Weld until you reach the junction to Chulia Street Ghaut to your right. Most buses pass through it including Rapid Penang Bus Nos. 10, 11, 101, 103, 104, 201, 202, 203, 204, 206, 301, 302, 401 and U501.
