#CafeReview The cafe that I will recommend to everyone in this post is Mt.Kalugong Kape-an. This shop is located on Mt.Kalagong on the other side of Mt.Yangbew. To get here, you have to walk again and there is an entrance fee to Mt.Kalugong for 100 pesos. This cafe offers both drinks and food. The menu has a variety of menus. Most importantly, the view from the top is very beautiful. There are many cats. Anyone who is a cat lover will love it. There are a lot of seats. The decoration is in the style of wood. Houses on the mountain. The balcony behind the shop allows you to go out and enjoy the view. The menu that I ordered was Iced Caramel Macchiato. The price is 135 pesos per glass, which is not too expensive. And the glass that I got was very big. The taste is good. #GoWithTong #TravelBaguio #TravelPhilippines

#Nature attractions Watch the sunrise at Mt. Yangbew Another place for nature lovers to come when coming to Baguio is Mt. Yangbew. We think it is one of the most beautiful sunrise spots in Baguio. Getting here is not difficult. You can take a taxi. The fare is about 150-200 pesos. Just tell someone to go to the entrance of Mt. Yangbew. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain, depending on your ability. But the way up is not that difficult. It is quite easy to walk up. When we got there, the air was very cold. We spent about 1 hour waiting for the sunrise. It was a very beautiful sight. #Go with Tong #Travel to Baguio #Travel to the Philippines

They say your Baguio tour is not complete without having to try strawberry picking. Of course, we did not let the chance slip and went to La Trinidad Strawberry farm to experience picking fresh strawberries. The farm is located not far from the city, will just take 20-30mins taxi/jeepney ride from the city center. There is no entrance fee to get to the farm but the price of the freshly picked strawberries is 600-800php which is higher than the actual cost of strawberries if you buy them in shops. But what you are paying for is actually the experience. You will pay by the kilo, so not bad. Outside the farm, there are lots of pasalubong shops as well were you can buy strawberries at a lower price and other items which Baguio City is known for. There are stalls whee you can buy strawberry ice cream, local snacks, refreshments etc. Definitely an experience which you should not miss when in Baguio City.

Here is some key information about Baguio, Philippines: 1. Location and Climate: Baguio is located in the northern part of Luzon Island, Philippines, at an altitude of about 1,500 meters, 250 kilometers from the capital Manila. Because of the pine trees all over the mountains, it is commonly known as the Pine City, with an annual temperature of about 28 degrees. Baguio is like spring all year round, with an annual temperature of about 20 degrees, rarely exceeding 27 degrees, and not lower than 10 degrees. For the Philippines, which is located in the tropics and is hot all year round, Baguio seems to be an independent existence, and is known as the "Summer Capital" by Filipinos. 2. History and Culture: Baguio was originally a place where ethnic minorities such as the Igorot tribe in the northern mountains of the Philippines lived, and it has only been a city for more than 80 years. American Governor Luke E. Wright then commissioned designer Daniel H. Burnham to build a resort and leisure resort for American soldiers and civilians. The name Baguio means "scenery" in the local dialect, and later the overseas Chinese from Fujian called it "Baguio" in Minnan dialect, which is both homophonic and elegant. 3. Tourism Resources: Baguio is a summer resort in the Philippines, relatively quiet in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. There is the Village of Colors, a colorful mountain village. Wright Park, a park with a horse farm where you can ride horses around the mountain. Baguio is also the strawberry capital, with the largest and rarest strawberry farm in the Philippines due to the weather and geographical environment. Baguio City, Manila, and Cebu are considered the main cities where Chinese people live in the Philippines. 4. Economy and Life: Baguio is the largest wholesale supplier of fruits and vegetables in the Philippines, and you can see fruits and vegetables from Baguio in all provinces and cities in the Philippines. Baguio is a city without the local common means of transportation "tuk-tuk", with taxis everywhere and metered fares. With its cool climate, rich natural scenery, and profound cultural heritage, Baguio has become a unique tourist and summer resort in the Philippines.

#hiddengems Another must-visit spot for nature lovers in Baguio is Mt. Yangbew. We consider it one of the most beautiful sunrise spots in Baguio. Getting here is not difficult. You can take a taxi, and the fare is around 150-200 pesos. Just tell the driver you're heading to the entrance of Mt. Yangbew. The hike to the summit takes about 30 minutes, depending on individual abilities. The ascent is not too challenging, making it relatively easy. Once you reach the top, the air is refreshingly cool. We spent about an hour waiting for the sunrise, and it was truly a breathtaking sight.

A small hill in the busy nook that separates Baguio City and La Trinidad, Benguet used to be dull and uneventful. The shanties that covered the green hill turned this spot into an eyesore. The dangling wires, cables and flaglets added chaos to an already chaotic scene. It was a cause of concern for the town. The place is collectively known as Stobosa, an acronym for the sitios of Stonehill, Botiw-tiw and Sadjap in Barangay Balili of Benguet’s capital La Trinidad. Countless gallons of paints in multitude of colors were used to paint the shanties of Stone Hill to form an artwork that features large-scale patterns of sunflowers. The magic of colors turned the eyesore into an artwork! Today, Stobosa is considered as an icon of transformation, drawing tourists and inspiring cities from all over the country and the world. This colorful spot is definitely a magnet! #familytrip #baguio
