Tourist attractions - Natural landscape: The Chocolate Hills are a spectacle of Bohol, formed by the accumulation of limestone formations. During the dry season, the grass on the mountains dries up and turns brown, resembling chocolate. Balicasag Island is a world-renowned diving mecca with the spectacular Balicasag Great Fault, overlooking the underwater cliffs and rich marine life. - Cultural landscape: Baclayon Church is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It was built in the early Spanish colonial period and is made of coral stone. There is also a small museum displaying religious relics and 16th-century artifacts.

You can also take a boat to chase dolphins in Dolphin Bay at sunrise and enjoy the spectacular scene of dolphins jumping and playing in the sea. Food recommendations - Seafood cuisine: Because Bohol is surrounded by the sea, it is rich in seafood resources, such as grilled shrimp, grilled squid, steamed grouper, etc., with a variety of cooking methods. - Philippine specialties: There is adobo, which is chicken or pork stewed with vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and other seasonings, with a rich flavor; there is also roasted suckling pig, with crispy skin and tender meat, served with a special sauce, which is very delicious.
