Your Travel Destination Shall Be Cebu, Philippines
That may be a presumptuous statement to make but after reading
this article thoroughly, there's a good chance that you'd agree
to make that statement as well. But first, let's get down to the
basics.
Cebu, as mentioned, is in the Philippines. Now, when you mention
the Philippines, it's either Manila or Boracay -- those are the
first places to come to your mind. But we assure you that Cebu
is as good as both those places. Better yet, there's no need to
pass through other cities in the Philippines just to get to
Cebu. As one of the major ports of the country, Cebu is even
directly accessible from other countries such as Singapore and
Hong Kong, China.
Since Cebu is highly urbanized, tourists have no need to worry
about where to purchase toiletries and other necessities because
there are department stores and 24-hour convenience stores
strategically located all over the city.
But enough about that and let's get directly to the good stuff.
The Olango Wildlife Sanctuary should always figure prominently
in a tourist's travel plan to Cebu, Philippines. In this
sanctuary, tourists would able to catch a glimpse of different
species of migrating birds coming from places as far as China
and Siberia. Based on studies made of this natural phenomenon,
these birds choose Olango as a wintering ground and a way to
increase their fat reserves before they resume flight.
Cebu's Fort San Pedro is the oldest tri-bastion fort in the
Philippines. Built in 1565, its 8-foot thick walls and 30-foot
tall tower bore witness to several wars, not the least would be
World War II, in which it served as barracks for American
soldiers.
Casa Gorordo Museum is also one of the well-loved destinations
of tourists once they arrive in Cebu. Taking a tour of this
well-kept museum is like stepping into another time and era,
thanks to the lovely antique furniture on display and the
conservation of residential features from the old days such as
the magnificent courtyard.
And speaking of Gorordo, make sure that you visit 415 Gorordo
Avenue in Lahug, Cebu City because that is the address of the
Sala Piano Museum. In this museum, you'd be able to a see a
collection of about hundreds of pianos of different shapes and
sizes.
Lastly, there's the Kawasan Falls in Matutinao, Badian. The
sight of this majestic waterfall would no doubt make you think
how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful world.
