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.

Baba House, as expected in wealthy families, will see furniture, photographs, kitchen settings that only apply to the family. Baba Residence is renovated. Singaporeans are free to visit it. Tourists can get a ten-dollar ticket. Visiting this house can help them understand the native Chinese culture.

Only ten years ago, the Baba House was in a state of decay, and all the people involved in the restoration were doing well. Tour guides are very knowledgeable, so you will learn a lot in a short time. Unfortunately, it's not allowed to take pictures inside, although it's okay to take pictures outside.

The Chinese name of this scenic spot is the Overseas Chinese Inn. It consists of a row of houses with Nanyang style. It is a place where wealthy Chinese people came to Singapore more than a hundred years ago. The furniture and facilities in the house are well preserved, and it is a very memorable place.
