Emerald Hill: The Little Nyonya Story

Though the drama series is predominantly filmed in Malaysia, the Emerald Hill in the title still does exists in Singapore, where it is located near Singapore's prime shopping belt of Orchard Road. It is both a neighbourhood and a conservation area (which that status was achieved on 7 July 1989) at the same time. From a plantation land, it became predominantly known as where the wealthy Chinese and Straits-Chinese, or known as the Peranakans reside at the turn of the 20th century till the 1950s (also around the time when the drama series starts), and the architecture is a reflection of its dwellers in those times.

Gaining conservation status means that the area has become an attraction itself, along with how it is since known for the bars along there.
