Bell Church @ Baguio City, Mountain Province

I wake up. (My parents woke me up. XD) I sit up still feeling sleepy, until I realized something. Its my last day in Baguio! D: Noooooooo....I'll just return next year...no problem with that...right?

Well, before boarding the provincial bus back to Mani-....ehm Pasay, we decided to make the best of the few remaining hours in Baguio. We've decided to visit the farthest place first (well, from our motel este rented room) so that we will visit the other nearest places on the way back to the house.

With that note, we decided to visit Bell Church, a Taoist Temple situated near the border of Baguio and La Trinidad. 

One would look in awe at the beautiful garden, the towering arches, and the breathtaking views of the h̶o̶u̶s̶e̶s̶ hills that surround the compound.

According to the Baguio City website (City of Pines), Chinese (tourists and locals) flock to the site on the Spring Festival, or as we know it as Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival Celebration lasts 15 days. on the 6th to tenth day families flock to the temple(s) to pray for good fortune and health. On the last day, there will be a Lantern Festival where children carry lanterns around.

There was this stairway to the higher parts of the compound (up the hill) so we decided to climb it. The higher we climb, the better the view of the hills. (But the houses can be eyesores to the greenery...).

However, there was this set of stairs that was restricted to outsiders because it is private property.
