Hard to beat this immersive museum. It's a must-see again & again every time I visit this part of the world. A reminder to the museum to update some information such as adding the date of death of some people such as Cory Aquino, etc.
The exhibits are awesome, lifelike and in great details depicting their life, struggles, prosecutions and their profoundly significant contributions to the Philippines' industry, economy, culture, language and more. Very enlightening.
Bahay Tsinoy tells of the Chinese history in the Philippines especially Manila. Their lineage, contribution and the part they play in nation building. The exhibits are very detailed giving a clear picture of the various roles of the Chinese in ancient times.
It is also of interest to note that famous people like Jose Rizal, Cardinal Sin, Cory Aquino and Jose Mari Chan actually have Chinese blood.
The location is in between Casa Manila and Manila Cathedral, along the next parallel road.
Entrance fee is P 100. Give yourself 1-2 hours to enjoy the museum.
I visited the place a long time ago as part of our field trip. I can say that the place is well preserved. You can't take pictures inside.
I enjoyed the visit here because of the museum guide, he explained each area of the museum well. You can see how passionate he is with the history :) Being a Filipino-Chinese, I further understood our history here in the Philippines.
this museum tells the history and influence of the chinese. imagine that is house bigger than the spanish colony general residence(museum san augustin) showed the power of the chinese.
