During my husband's Christmas break last year, we went to the Cebu Oceanpark and on Christmas Day, I checked any attractions nearby and I saw the Taoist Temple which is located in Lahug, Cebu City just inside the Beverly Hills area.
Before we went there, we dropped by his colleague to return some stuff my husband borrowed. The temple was just a few minutes away from there too.
How to go
From our location from his friend's office, it was supposed to be a few minutes walk. However, when we reached the gate of Beverly Hills, the guards didn't let us in. They informed us that we needed to ride a taxi to go in. I suppose that's for the village's safety but not convenient for us.
We waited at the gate for a taxi to pass by and ride. It took us more than 10 minutes of waiting because some taxi drivers are picky (only in the Philippines). It's just almost a 2-minute ride from the gate and cost us 80 pesos for the ride.
Lil B was still sleepy at that time, look at her chinita eyes hihi.
Entrance fee
There is no entrance fee. You just need to look for a ride to go there inside.
As soon as we arrived, I saw the stairs and didn't think of it. Well, the stairs killed my knees. I have to let Lil B walk by herself as she loves climbing stairs too but when she's tired, Daddy will carry her of course.
We looked around and there are a few spots closed for viewing. The view was nice and quiet. There were only a few people and some of them are there to pray. In some spots where they pray, cameras or taking pictures are prohibited. We need to respect their religion too.
Here are a few photos of the spots we captured there.
This is the view from the peak of the temple.
Lots of dragons eh? :)
Here's our Spy x Family picture :)
It has a very nice view and ambiance. Don't forget to bring water because it's a temple and there are no stores inside.
Looking forward to seeing more places in Cebu soon!
