CHC (opened in 17 May 1995) is among the first centres specialising in the study of Chinese communities outside China. The centre is housed in the historical former Nanyang University Administration Building which is a national monument.
The Chinese Heritage Centre promotes understanding of the culture and traditions of Chinese communities overseas. Check out our new exhibition “Chinese More or Less: An Exhibition on Overseas Chinese Identity.. More
Streetdirectory.com Chinese Heritage Centre is located within the Jalan Bahar, a district near Tuas and Lim Chu Kang districts. A large area of Jln Bahar is restricted for the Singapore Armed Forces' (SAF) live firing exercises and the Singapore Civil Defence' (SCDF) Basic Rescue Training (BRT) exercises. Nearby this restricted area is Choa Chu Kang cemetery, an area that is widely-believed to be one of Singapore's haunted places. There is not much to do here except for perhaps cycling and pottery-making at Jalan Bahar Clay Studios (JBCS). There are several educational institutions here namely Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National Institute of Education (NIE).
