What travellers are saying
- Kristina BKuala Lumpur, Malaysia122 contributionsBeautifully kept Baba & Nyonya house from the Chan family. I would recommend all to visit and be immersed in their history. It’s amazing how well they’ve retained the home. We went before midday and didn’t have a tour guide - so maybe check when they provide guided tours as I feel this would’ve elevated the experience.Written 9 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were shown around by the owner, Haji Ibrahim who is the descendent of the founder of this village. Lots of cool antiques to see. Entrance is free but donations are welcomed for the upkeep of the house.Written 20 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's only 3 mins walk from the river cruise boarding area, so if you're killing time while waiting for sunset, go have a quick peep.Written 4 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You get to immerse yourself in the Baba Nyonya household, customs, marriage rites, ways of dress, and home life. Passionate and very knowledgable tour from Linda (in Cantonese), ever patient with my questions and she made it so fun. Highly recommend.Written 15 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Haifeng CSingapore, Singapore266 contributionsA place to soak in the nostalgic vibe of life in the 50s to 70s, with tonnes of items on display in settings such as a home, kitchen, medicine hall and hair salon.

- Juniper64Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia74 contributionsThis is a nicely-sequenced exhibit that suffers from the universal Malaysian museum problem of poor lighting. With a facelift, it could be excellent. The real star is a room full of political cartoons from the 1950s, which really put a fresh and humorous perspective on Malaysia's independence.
I suspect that the level of detail might be a bit much for foreign visitors who are completely fresh to the subject, but it's rewarding for Malaysians who know the basics already.Written 4 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
