In every aspect of Philippine life, in every phase of Philippine history, in its culture and tradition, language and songs, in everything Filipino, there throbs a Chinese presence which found its way long before Philippine recorded history. Although political, economic or cultural exigencies throughout Philippine history sometimes isolate the Chinese Filipinos from a destiny shared with Filipinos, in the end, in everything that is Philippine, there emerges the Tsinoy - the Chinese, who is Filipino or the Filipino who is Chinese; molded through the centuries by Philippine life; enriching this land with the legacies of Chinese heritage.
Bahay Tsinoy is a permanent showcase of the historical and cultural legacies of the Chinese in the Philippines from pre-history to the present. The museum takes you through the saga of the Chinese Filipinos as their identities in these islands transform and evolve from merchant sailors, to immigrant laborers, to mestizos, to illustrados, to revolutionaries and to Tsinoys-- continuing to help build this nation.

TAGAYTAY
General Description
Tagaytay City, at elevation 2,500 feet above sea level, is known as the summer capital of Southern Luzon because of its cool highland weather. Only 56 kilometers south of Manila, it is situated on the scenic Tagaytay Ridge that has a spectacular view of Taal Volcano (reputed to be the smallest active volcano in the world) right in the middle of Taal Lake and the mountains of Makiling, Banahaw and Macolot beyond.
Rendered even more charming are the multicolored flowers, bonsai trees and ornamental plants being sold by numerous stalls and sheds. Tagaytay City is famous not only for the awesome view of Taal's lake-within-a-volcano-within-a-lake-within-a-volcano but also for the vegetables, fruits and Batangas beef on sale in its market, native coffee from nearby Mendez municipality, and the panutsa (peanut soaked in hardened sugar), shrimp paste and tulingan (a native fish) from the nearby Batangas towns of Nasugbu and Balayan.
Tagaytay City is also a gateway to Taal Volcano and Taal Lake via a winding road that leads to Talisay town below. The road, although steep, is good and lined with trees and bushes and undergrowths speckled with wild sunflowers in bloom. In Talisay, boats can be hired for cruising the freshwater lake and in going to the little volcano for a trek to the Daang Kastila view deck for a look at the still steaming crater walls and placid crater lake.
With cool highland weather and Baguio-like sceneries, Tagaytay City is a major attraction for couples and families who go there for the awe-inspiring views, picnic spots, restaurants, resort and recreational facilities. The tranquil ambience and fresh mountain air make it a perfect setting for health spas and wellness centers, retreat houses and conference venues and its terrain is ideal for hiking, jogging and mountain biking. The more adventurous can trek down to the edge of Taal Lake.
How to get there
By Land
The main route is via the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX ) with exit at Carmona passing through the towns of Gen. Mariano Alvarez, Dasmarinas and Silang. Another exit is at Sta. Rosa through the road that leads directly to Tagaytay.
Tagaytay can also be reached from Manila through Roxas Boulevard-Coastal Road traversing the towns of Bacoor, lmus, Dasmarinas and Silang.
Bus terminals are located at Park 'n Ride in Plaza Lawton, Vito Cruz and Baclaran in Pasay City.
Public transport services are available during the day hours and early evening.

Tourist Attractions
11TH AIRBORNE DIVISION MARKER Tagaytay City, Cavite
On February 3, 1945, the 11 th Airbone Division of Lt. Gen. William Krueger's 8th Army air-dropped military supplies and personnel on the Tagaytay ridge amidst enemy groundfire. Their mission was to secure Tagaytay City and guarantee the easy flow of troops and supplies to Manila. The action later proved significant to the liberation of Manila and its environs. A marker was installed at the Silang crossing to commemorate the event.
41ST DIVISION USAFFE MARKER Kaybagay South, Tagaytay City, Cavite
Tagaytay played a significant role in Philippine history. During World War II, Filipino soldiers found refuge in its vast forest and ridges. It was used as a landing site and sanctuary for paratroopers on their way to liberate Manila. The 41st USAFFE marker is one place where you will know more about Tagaytay's rich political history.
SANGHIYANG DANCE Tagaytay City, Cavite
A fire dance that originated in Alfonso and performed at various hotel venues to entertain guests and tourists. This dance is performed over live coals to drive away evil spirits. The performers belong to one family whose forefathers passed the tradition from generation to generation.
SISTERS SERVANTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PERPETUAL ADORATIONMaitim West, Tagaytay City, Cavite
The faithful can ask for prayers and endorsement of petitions through the intercession of the contemplative nuns.Market by the road
TAAL VOLCANO and TAAL LAKE Tagaytay City, Cavite
At 2,500 feet above sea level, Tagaytay City is known as the summer capital of Southern Luzon because of its cool highland temperature. The famous Tagaytay Ridge circles the edge of an ancient volcanic crater. Within this collapsed crater is Taal Volcano with its crater lake — a lake within a volcano within a lake. Taal Lake and Volcano of Batangas is one of Southern Luzon's centerpiece attractions. The gateway for most visitors is through Talisay, Batangas where boating activities are available, or Tagaytay City whose ridge gives a panoramic view of the Taal Volcano Island.
TAGAYTAY PICNIC GROVE Brgy. Sungay, East, Tagaytay City
This "Special Interest Resort" is located just a few minutes away from the Tagaytay town proper, overlooking Taal Volcano Lake and the coastal towns of Batangas. Having a rolling land area of 13.5 hectares, it offers various facilities for accommodations, dining, a function hall, picnic areas, cottages and a view deck with restaurant.
An added attraction is the Tagaytay Picnic Grove Eco Trail, which takes tourists to a more exciting view of the Taal Volcano via a more rigid pathway that would surely challenge one's stamina.

Standing like a sentinel at the western entrance to the town, it opens to the main street named Calle Real. Along this street are rows of preserved ancestral houses, the Municipal Government building, the Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Church and the town plaza. All these reveal the wealth of its glorious and well-preserved past that makes Pagsanjan worth visiting.

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CHURCHPagsanjan, Laguna
In 1835, Pope Pius A proclaimed Our Lady of Guadalupe as the perpetual national patroness of the Philippines and Mexico.

donated a life-size image of the Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe to the people of Pagsanjan. This second image was made by Mr. Ramon Barreto, a noted sculptor from Tuluca, Mexico and is now enshrined as the town's patroness, together with another image of the virgin, which was carved by Maximo Vicente, a prominent sculptor from Manila.
PAGSANJAN FALLS, SHOOTING THE RAPIDS Pagsanjan, Lumban and Cavinti, Laguna
The majestic Pagsanjan Falls is situated three miles outside the town of Pagsanjan, Laguna on the rugged highlands of Cavinti and Lumban. The main access to the globally famous Pagsanjan Falls is through the Bananas and Bumbungan Rivers of Pagsanjan. The exciting boat ride begins in the still headwaters of the river, then rapidly churning to make it the ride of a lifetime. On the way to the magnificent waterfalls, one experiences the rare beauty of harmony with nature. Within the tropical gorge are varieties of wild orchids, ferns, vines, dragonflies, lizards, monkeys and multihued birds. During the rainy season, tourists may view a series of mini-falls like the Monkey Falls, Tabernakulo Falls, Kalay Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Talahib Falls and the Hugusan Falls. Some of these mini-falls are rarely seen during the summer season.

The 2-hour "Shooting the Rapids" begins in the still headwaters of the Pagsanjan River. Each banca, paddled by 2 boatmen, can accommodate 2 or 3 passengers. The boatmen steer the banca upstream, passing narrowly between or above boulders or rocks. At times, the boatmen have to get off the banca, and with their bare feet, step on the boulders to push the banca upstream, maintaining balance, against a downward strong current.
Depending on whether it is low or high tide, you will pass through 11 or 16 rapids before you reach the major waterfalls where you will transfer to a bamboo raft that will take you beneath the cascading water and into a hidden cave. The falls come from a 300-foot cliff in full view.The downstream ride is as exciting as the upstream ride because, at this time, the banca floats with the strong current. There are times, as the boat skips the boulders and rocks, that you gasp for breath but the boatmen steer the ride with so much expertise that they bring you back to the headwaters feeling relaxed.
