Tagaytay - probably the most pleasant city in asia
Tagaytay City lies on top of the Tagaytay Ridge, which, at 640 meters above sea level, is the highest point in Cavite. The ridge provides a spectacular view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano "400 metres (1,312 feet)" in Batangas. This view supports Tagaytay's main industry, which is tourism.

First Tagaytay is much closer to Manila plus there are several roads leading to this city. Before you have to exit Carmona and have to travel to Aguinaldo highway to reach Tagaytay. Now, you can exit Sta. Rosa and where the trip is an hour or less.
Another thing I noticed with Tagaytay, the city is becoming too commercialized. Before, if you want a burger, you can get it in Mushroomburger. That was back in the late 80s early 90s. Today, there are Mc Donalds and other high-end burger joints. Plus alot of residential and commercial developments happening.
BTW, those travelling to Tagaytay I would recommend have lunch or dinner at Gourmet's Cafe. I tried their pizza and pasta and it's really good
I really love this place, it's like heaven and earth. The serenity, the fresh air, the nature. It's astounding. Even tourists love the view of this lake. A natural gem just outside the chaos of Manila.
last summer i went there. but the fridgin weather messed it up. and we couldn't visit the volcano >.> it was very foggy and i took a pic but too bad my aunt have them all >.>
