💞Recommendation reason: Baguio is a city without tricycles. Taxis are everywhere and the fare is metered. You won’t be cheated. It is not commercial. The people are simple and the prices are low. It is a breath of fresh air in the Philippines. The most attractive thing here is the warm attitude of the people. You will feel more if you explore it slowly❗ 🏔️Baguio is full of mountain roads. I vomited on the ride. It took more than 5 hours from BGC, so I would like to give you some suggestions: [RedHeart] People who are prone to motion sickness, remember to bring motion sickness medicine; 💜The temperature in Baguio in April is about 28 degrees at the highest, and it is not cold even if you wear short sleeves or shorts at the lowest; the altitude is about 1,500 meters. 💙There is no flat ground, it is either uphill or downhill, so it is recommended to wear sports shoes; 💛If you bring children, it is best to stay for 2 nights and 3 days, find a good hotel, and then visit these check-in places. 💚If you don’t have kids, just find a hotel for 2,000 or 3,000 pesos with breakfast included. Food in Baguio is very cheap. So eat whatever you want. 🧡Taxis in Baguio are also cheap, with a starting price of 35 pesos. Taxis cannot stop anywhere, so you have to ask the locals where you can take a taxi. ⭐Recommended check-in places: ✨strawberry farm (a must-go experience if you bring your kids, it is incomparable to the ones in China) ✨Igorot stone kingdom (a must-go place if you bring your kids, where you can wear traditional costumes, ride horses, take photos, watch traditional performances, and run around) ✨Baguio Cathedral (it looks better with lights on at night, closed at 19:00) ✨Village of Colors (check-in: this only takes 5 minutes to check in) ✨Mines view park (nice view, you can go there to relax) ✨Black market (a large fruit and vegetable market, where you can buy freely)
