The living area of returned overseas Chinese is a fascinating journey through time, highlighting representative homes from three different eras. These include the thatched cottages of returned overseas Chinese from Malaysia in the 1950s, the brick houses from Indonesia in the 1960s, and the stone houses from Vietnam in the 1970s. This area also offers an immersive experience through handicraft workshops, recreating scenes such as Malaysian returned overseas Chinese frying coffee, Indonesian ones baking pancakes, and Vietnamese ones making coconut candy.
