Description:
- Located in the heart of Chinatown, this charming 17th-century building originally served as the private home for So Bing Kong, a prominent merchant who was appointed headman of the ethnic Chinese. It also served as a meeting place and commercial hub for Chinese merchants and communities. Two other similar houses were demolished in the 1990s, making Candra Naya the last one standing. An Indonesian conglomerate, Modern Group, has recently incorporated the house into a development plan for a hotel, apartment and shopping complex. Admission is free, but permission must be sought from caretaker.
