Baguio
Baguio, on the Philippines’ Luzon island, is a mountain town
of universities and resorts. Called the “City of Pines,” it’s particularly
popular in summer due to unusually cooler weather. At its center is Burnham
Park, with gardens and a lake. Nearby, Baguio Cathedral, completed in 1936, has
a rose-hued exterior. The main thoroughfare is Session Road, lined with shops,
restaurants and entertainment options.
Former U.S. military facility Camp John Hay is a hillside
holiday complex with a golf course and forest trails. The expansive Botanical
Garden neighbors Wright Park, home of the picturesque Pool of Pines, and The
Mansion, the presidential summer residence. Elsewhere, the BenCab Museum
exhibits the work of Benedicto Cabrera and other Filipino artists amid landscaped
grounds. Tam-Awan Village is an artists colony with traditional huts and views
out to the South China Sea. Overlooking Baguio, 2,000m-high Mount Cabuyao has
hiking and biking trails.
