Yan District is a small district in Kedah. It is bordered by Kota Setar District to the north, Pendang District to the northeast, and Kuala Muda District to the south. Yan District is along the coast of the Straits of Malacca.

There is a legend in Yan District, and once upon a time, there lived a giantess who became pregnant. One day, while the midwife was treating the giantess with an egg, along came a troll who turned them all into rocks - the giantess became Pulau Bunting, the midwife became Pulau Bidan and the egg became Pulau Telur.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
