The Baba & Nyonya Heritage

Tourism Melaka

Baba's and Nyonya's are Chinese decendants who have adopted a huge part of the Malay culture. They practise both the Chinese customs and Malay traditions. Also known "Straits-born Chinese" or "Peranakan", they introduced unique heritage at the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum ( a Private museum ) at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. I have cool video in my collections about this ethnics. Please visit A Baba & Nyonya Dance
