Yap Kongsi

The Yap Temple (also called Choo Chay Keong located in the heart of historic Georgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage Site), is a temple built by the Chinese Yap clan, who named it. Completely renovated in 1990, the temple is a perfect example of what you would expect of Chinese architecture, with multicolored dragons adorning the roofs, gilt statues, and incense burning in large bowls. The atmosphere of the place is very peaceful, quiet, and relaxing and there you can meet the worshipers who like to discuss the history of the place and the clan.
