I had been very busy with work so I forgot to blog about our last vacation in Cebu and Bohol. But I got spare time tonight so I figured I should be writing now and sharing our experience with all of you.

#1 on our itinerary for our 1st day in Cebu was the Taoist temple. We have heard a lot about it from friends and relatives who have been to Cebu so we decided to visit the place. Below are some facts that you should know about when planning to visit the place.

• It is located in Beverly Hills Subdivision, Cebu City.
• Open to worshipers and non- worshipers.

• Center of worship for Taoism.
• Usual rituals performed are washing of hands, going inside the chapel barefoot and dropping two blocks of wood. They say if the blocks of wood are both faced up then one could make a wish. But if they don’t, then one has to return back to the temple some other time and redo the ritual.

• There are no public transportation allowed in the village except for taxis so one option would be to rent one. Could be pricey though and your time to explore the place would somehow be limited.
• There are some chapels that you are not allowed to take pictures of.
• But there are motorcycles for rent called “Habal” that you can consider when going out of the village.
• Cost is about 50 pesos per person. We did not go for both options but instead we walked out of the village then rode a taxi back to the city to visit Sto. Nino Basilica and Magellan’s Cross.

Have a safe trip to Cebu!
