Tiaong's main draw is a sprawling family-owned agricultural estate that began in 1872 as a sugarcane plantation before switching to coconuts following a blight. The hacienda was opened as a resort showcasing rural life in 1981 and features a myriad of amenities such as a museum showcasing the landowners' art collection, a reconstructed Spanish-style chapel and ancestral houses, as well as a man-made dam and natural waterfalls.
Saint John the Baptist Parish Church
Tiaong's main Roman Catholic church, built during the Spanish era and extensively altered since then.
A 1920s Art Deco mansion built for one of Tiaong's leading families but later abandoned except by a few caretakers and subsequently rumored to be haunted. While prior permission is needed from the owners to enter, the low fences allow for bystanders to admire the fountain in the front yard showing a man wrestling with a crocodile, and even peek into the glassware laid out at the dining table.
