Choo Chay Keong Temple also referred to as Yap Kongsi (free entry) is a small building at intersection of Lebuh Cannon and Lebuh Armenian that serves the Yap Clan. It was built in 1924 and is dedicated to the god of prosperity. Choo Chay Keong features Chinese architecture and design. The exterior is quite elaborate and decorative, particularly the two dragon pillars in front of the temple. The interior is small and has a couple neat things to see included the altar with decorative gilded reliefs. The side room includes a back wall wood carving that is interesting to look over. You can view the Choo Chay Keong Tempel conveniently in just a few minutes making it well worth a quick stop when visiting this area of the World Heritage zone in George Town. Note: There is an associated but smaller temple, Tong Yap Kongsi just across Lebuh Cannon but we're not sure if this one is open to visitations. Just a couple minutes walk down Lebuh Cannon, you can enter the much larger and popular Khoo Kongsi Temple grounds.

El templo Yap Kongsi, situado en el corazón de George Town, Penang, es un destacado lugar de interés histórico y cultural que representa la rica herencia china de Malasia. Construido en 1924, este templo es una de las casas clánicas (o “kongsis”) más importantes de los inmigrantes chinos en la región, específicamente del clan Yap, uno de los muchos clanes chinos que llegaron a Malasia durante el siglo XIX. La arquitectura del templo es impresionante, con un diseño tradicional chino que incluye techos ornamentados, columnas intrincadamente talladas y estatuas de dragones que simbolizan fuerza y protección. La estructura está adornada con hermosos murales y detalles que cuentan historias relacionadas con la historia y la cultura del clan Yap, así como con las tradiciones chinas en general. Además, el templo está lleno de símbolos auspiciosos que reflejan la espiritualidad y la filosofía taoísta y confuciana. El Yap Kongsi no solo es un lugar de culto, sino también un centro para las reuniones y celebraciones del clan. Aquí se llevan a cabo festivales y eventos tradicionales, como el Año Nuevo Chino, donde las ceremonias incluyen danzas del león, ofrendas y oraciones. Los visitantes pueden explorar el templo, aprender sobre su historia y apreciar la conexión que tiene con la comunidad local. Declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO como parte del centro histórico de George Town, el Yap Kongsi es una visita obligada para aquellos interesados en la cultura china y la historia de Penang. Su ubicación estratégica lo hace fácilmente accesible, y su atmósfera tranquila lo convierte en un lugar perfecto para reflexionar y admirar la riqueza cultural de la región. Una parada ideal para los amantes de la historia, la arquitectura y la espiritualidad.
