  Based on the result of string/string duality, we construct the six
dimensional Yang monopole in terms of Type IIA wrapped D-branes. In particular,
we show that all the information of such a magnetic solution can be encoded in
the K3 surface compactification in the presence of D2 and D4-branes wrapping
its non trivial cycles. We give a geometrical and physical interpretations for
the {+1,-1} Yang monopole charges. Lifting to eleven dimensions, we relate this
Type IIA configuration with the heterotic M-theory one, given in
hep-th/0607193. The nature of the black Yang monopole is also discussed.
