NUS Baba House

The residence is a very good witness to the integration of Chinese and local culture. Here you can feel the combination of Chinese architectural style and the architectural style of Southeast Asian locals. Some furniture was shipped from China.

We enjoyed this very private tour to visit the beautiful residence. The guides were very understanding of the original owner and occupant of the residence, as well as its history and restoration process. The building and the furniture at the time were beautiful. This is a great way to learn about the culture and life of the native Chinese in the late 18th century and early 20th century. Enjoy thoroughly! A great way to learn about the history of the native Chinese in Singapore is to visit this beautifully restored old house in 1928. Here we will introduce the architecture, culture and social history of Singapore natives. Our guide Eugene took us on a very interesting 1-1 1⁄2 hour tour. It is easy to get by MRT and just a few minutes walk from Outram Street.

The residence, as expected in the wealthy family, will see furniture, photos, kitchen settings and more that only apply to the family. The residence is restored, Singaporeans visit is free, visitors ten SGD tickets, visit the house to learn about the culture of the native Chinese.

Only ten years ago the house was in a state of decay and all those involved in the restoration were doing well. The guide was very knowledgeable so you will learn a lot in a short time. Unfortunately, photographs are not allowed inside, although there is no problem taking pictures outside.

The Chinese name of this attraction is Overseas Chinese Inn. It is composed of a row of houses with Nanyang style. It is a place where the wealthier Chinese who came to Singapore more than 100 years ago. The furniture and facilities in the house have been well preserved and are a very commemorative place.
