Built by Cebu’s Chinese community in the 1970s, this Taoist temple sits on a hill in the Beverly Hills subdivision, a 20-30 minute drive from downtown.

The temple isn’t huge but it’s very beautiful, with bright dragons and pagoda-style roofs. Plus the entry is free and the views over Cebu are epic!

WHAT TO EXPECT

• You’ll climb a set of steep stairs to reach the temple (not wheelchair accessible).

• 30 minutes to 1 hour for a visit.

• Locals and visitors alike light incense and make wishes here.

• It’s quiet compared to the busy downtown attractions.

• Best visited in the morning or late afternoon, when it’s cooler for the climb.
