[Cebu Island] Cebu's Hero Lapu-Lapu

We went to Lapu-Lapu on Mactan Island, which was a recommended tourist spot! ️ It took about an hour by taxi from Cebu City. (It cost about 1,700 yen) The moment I got off the taxi after arriving at the site, I was approached by two older men who seemed to be locals. At first, I didn't know what they were talking about, so I tried to ignore them, but it seemed like they were Lapu-Lapu guides, so I went with them (or rather, they followed me without me having to say anything lol) They guided me through the history of the Lapu-Lapu statue and Magellan's tomb, so I enjoyed the place many times more than just looking at it normally✨✨ They also took photos in front of the statues and monuments, so there was no need to ask someone passing by. Cebu has a lot of stray dogs, and there was one here too, but the older man said that it might be carrying a disease, so it's okay to look and take photos, but not to touch it🙅‍♀️. There are mangroves in the sea that can be seen from this spot, and it is possible to go exploring for about an hour from a nearby dock. We didn't have time to go... Lapu-Lapu itself is not that big if you just want to look around, so you can take photos and walk around in about 15 minutes. We were with the same guy, so we listened to his explanations and showed him around, so we stayed for about an hour. There is a shopping mall called Mactan New Town about a 10-minute walk from here, so there are many cafes and restaurants✨ I found that it is even more enjoyable to visit any tourist spot after knowing what kind of place it is and what was there! (In the end, I was very grateful to the guys😊) *Also, the guy who guided us can speak five languages, including Japanese, English, and Korean‼ ️He guided us in fluent Japanese✨ #CebuTrip #MactanIsland #Lapu-Lapu

Lapu Lapu Statue

Both sides of Lapu-Lapu Monument are carved. Lapulapu and Ferdinand Magellan are engraved on the front and reverse respectively. This monument in the ruins is established for both leaders to memorize their contributions. This is no doubt an objective evaluation and reflection towards the history. Now here is a leisure park and people can have a rest.
