Observation Deck

Historical Architecture

多多This bell tower can be found outside Dumaguete Cathedral, and it has considerable historical significance. What's interesting is that it can stand the test of time. Probably to remind us of Dumaquet's past. It serves as a watchtower to warn people of the arrival of pirate attacks. Now it has become a place of admiration, complemented by the image of the Virgin Mary. It is a place of prayer and sacrifice.

Bell Church is Taoist Church/Temple. The place became one of the tourist spot but it is not as crowded as Session road, Mines View, Burnham Park and the likes of the famous places to go. When inside the Church compound, you will notice that the walls were designed with Dragon statues. #scenicspotguide#nyedestinations#holidayvacation#travelstories

DUMAGUETE CITY ✨ I've been to Dumaguete City 5 times already. First time was when we had a vacation in Valencia, and the last 2 times were to get my and my boyfriend's passports. Dumaguete is a humble city. It has a lot going on there. There old church is beautiful. They have the famed Siliman University. And many more. #wintergetaway

The Forest Camp: Valencia’s Best Nature Resort ✨ Before going to Casaroro Falls, we stayed in the Forest Camp for hours. The time spent in the Forest Camp is worth it because of how relaxing the whole place is. Their food, facilities, the small natural pools, the greens. 🌳✨ #wintergetaway

Valencia's Casaroro Falls is still #1 in my Best Philippine Falls list. ✨ This gem is so pristine and authentic that you will never forget about it after you see it in person. The cold water, the scenic view, the intimidating feeling of being in Casaroro Falls is just a different level of experience. I really thank my friends for bringing me there. ♥️ #wintergetaway

The experience on the island can vary depending on a number of factors. Some people go a stay in the resorts. There can be large numbers at times which can be annoying. And then of course the tide times make a difference. At low tide you can see the full sandbar in all it's spectacular glory but at higher tide this is fully submerged in the water. Either way you can still enjoy activities and and around the water. And the scenery and colour of the water is stunning. #givethanks #givethanks
