VISITING THE BELL CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME

The Majestic Sun at  Bell Church Baguio
The bell church is situated downtown of Baguio City. It is on the same route going to Strawberry farm Benguet. Find the Arch (boundary) which states Welcome to La Trinidad and on the other side Welcome to Baguio City and you won't get lost. Enter a compound and see these intricately made gate of the temple.








The  Gate and nature

Most of the tourist spots in Baguio will test your stamina. Walking, climbing up and down the hills or stairs were a part of the package. Same goes when exploring the Taoist temple but the good thing is you won't feel tired at all because of the cool weather and scenic view of the place. Take a look at the pictures below and see how my little girl enjoyed her temple exploration, living up to her name Kenzie the Explorer just like DORA. (wink)

The view from the inside

It is my first time to visit and enter a Taoist temple and I'm glad I finally made it this time. The building architecture, the arches, the temple itself, the pagoda's, the status and the garden landscape is worth visiting for and  for a moment I feel like I'm in another country. No fee required when you visit the temple but of course you need to keep quiet and pay respect and follow some rules especially when you wish enter the prayer room.

Although Strawberry Farm is a few kilometers away from Bell Church we opted to skipped visiting it because we were given a heads up that we won't find any strawberry to harvest yet. We opted to head back to the City and visit MINESVIEW before sunset.
