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.

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

Be mesmerized by the flamboyant display of colors of the Hillside Homes in La Trinidad, Benguet - most commonly known as the Valley of Colors. The place is just situated near Baguio City - one jeepney or taxi ride from the city center (less than 5km away from the center, approx 15-30mins travel depending on traffic). The tourist spot is known for the bright colored houses in the hills which surely is stunning. It is actually a project of the local tourism department in cooperation with the residents to have their house painted in such bright colors by various local artists. You can take pictures from the hanging bridge or at the waiting shed to capture this beautiful artwork. Another great thing about this is there is no entrance fee - but there is a donation box where you can put any amount which will be used for the maintenance of the place.
