What are the interesting things in Cebu, Philippines?

Cebu is a very mature tourist destination in the Philippines. There are many holiday islands, colorful seawater, white beaches and resorts hidden in dense forests. For world history, this is the burial place of the great navigator Magellan, and it is also the battlefield where the Philippines and foreign colonists won for the first time.

Magellan's Cross and Sannino Church.

At that time, Magellan brought the image of a cross and an El Nino, and now both of them are built and enshrined together. El Nino is a wooden "baby Jesus Christ" about 40 * * minutes high, wearing a robe, a Huang Guan and holding a scepter. Its replicas are sold in the streets of the Philippines. The local people also derived the use of the statue of God of Wealth, and one statue was enshrined in the lobby of Penglao Nature Resort of Mint, just like Master Guan of China.

Access to the church requires security checks, but it does not hinder the tour. In front of the rows of red wax tables in the church, believers are making wishes. Photography is free in the church, but everything is quiet. Some people prayed, some people took pictures, and some people lined up for baptism. They are all in good order and do their jobs.

Fort San Pedro is the second oldest castle in the Philippines and a military castle. Its main remains include a battery and a high wall. The castle was Spain's first stronghold in Cebu. There is an exhibition hall of historical relics on the city wall, and it is forbidden to take pictures.

There are many Filipino Chinese in China Taoist Temple, so besides Catholicism, there are also Taoists. The location of this Taoist temple is considered to be a treasure trove of geomantic omen, surrounded by local luxury residential areas, and most of the residents are Chinese. Chinese used to have racial discrimination in the Philippines, but now they have a high status. Among the top ten richest people in the Philippines, Chinese account for as many as eight. The Taoist temple is built on the mountain, and you can see the villas under the shade along the road. Vehicles can only stop at the entrance at the foot of Daoguan Mountain and climb 99 steps to reach the top.

As a small island under Cebu Island, it has whiter and thinner beaches and two landmark landscapes: chocolate hills and the world's smallest monkey, the tarsier monkey. Mint also has two classic tours: boating on the Robo River for lunch and chasing dolphins in the morning. If you want to dive, please start with mint. There are several islands that attract divers all over the world with their magnificent underwater scenery.

Mint is also divided into the island and outlying islands, which is more primitive and natural. Panglao Island is one of the most famous holiday islands. There is only a short small cement bridge connecting this island and Penglao Island, which is far from the majestic posture of Cebu Cross-sea Bridge. Driving in Penglao Island at night is dark, and there are basically no commercial facilities outside the resort. It is precisely because of such good ecological environment protection that the harmony between nature and human beings is everywhere.

Attractions:

Chocolate hills is the most famous natural landscape in this area. There are 1, 268 hills will change color. At the end of the dry season, the grass on the mountain will turn into a thick chocolate color, which is the origin of its name, and it is green at other times. Climbing to the top of the visitor center can give you a panoramic view of chocolate hills, which is very spectacular. The photo on the postcard was taken on the roadside not far from the entrance to the scenic spot.

There are five or six stores in chocolate hills, which specialize in glasses monkey souvenirs and various handicrafts. The lovely image of the tarsier monkey is made into various headdresses, small bags and T-shirts, as well as various ethnic ornaments. People who like glasses monkey products should not miss these small shops here, and there are no such places with rich choices and moderate prices elsewhere.

On the way to and from chocolate hills, the artificial forest in bilal will pass a road with lush forests on both sides, which is the artificial forest. There are forests on both sides of the road. The trees are tangled and stand upright, just like a century-old tree. There is a smell of virgin forest here, which is in sharp contrast with the quiet highways and red painted railings. Some tourists don't get off the bus to take pictures as a souvenir.

Tarsier Visitors Centre, located on the bank of Robo River, is a place for artificial breeding and visiting. Such a cute little animal must be seen. Is the prototype in the movie ET! Although the reception center is not big, there are only seven or eight small trees, but the monkeys are all watched in the open air and can be touched directly by hand. There are one or two little monkeys hidden in every tree, but these super cute little things are very old species, with a history of 45 million years, and are special products of the Philippines. They are only the size of a palm, their eyes are heavier than their heads, they have suction cups on their toes, and they cling to branches quietly during the day. They don't like jumping and biting people. Visitors can buy insects to feed them. If you want to take the monkey to take pictures, you have to pay a tip, usually 20 Philippine dollars at a time. But remember, you can't take pictures of monkeys with flash, it will hurt your eyes.

Boating on the Robock River cruise ship is a popular tourist attraction. Sitting on a boat like a waltz ball, driving along the river, enjoying the original forest scenery on both sides of the strait, tasting the delicious buffet on board, and singing by guitarists, the romantic style can be imagined. The destination of boating is an indigenous village. Visitors can go ashore to visit the aborigines who wear grass skirts to shoot arrows and drill fire rings to swallow fire, and take photos with them. Of course, there is a tipbox hanging on the tree next to it. After the visit, the ship will return to the dock. If there are many people, there will be a big rectangular boat to sit on. Travel time is about 1 hour.
