Cebu: Side Trips

 " TOPS LOOKOUT"

 

This is one tourist spot in Cebu that you shouldnt miss! this is located at the top of Busay Hills, further up north from the Temple of Leah. Here you will see a beautiful view of Cebu City, Mactan Island and other islands. A perfect stopover to enjoy snacks after a tour or before heading home.

 

I love staring at beautiful sceneries. Even for a while it clears my mind and makes me appreciate the beauty of nature. Its a good spot to unwind from maybe a stressful week. Also even a good spot for maybe proposals i think or justto let the bad vibes out of your head. There are snack bars in the area so you could just grab snacks and drinks there. Though you can also bring your own they wont charge you corkage anymore. there are stone tables and chairs on the side where you can just chill

There is a 100php entrance fee for tops lookout but i assure you its just so worth it.Of course who wouldn't miss taking photos and my favorite jumpshots. Make sure to take a lot of photos w/ the view and at the picnic area.

 The picnic are was featured in one block buster movie. The way that stones and concrete was designed and the way that the ceiling was made of nipa and then supported with cement amazes me. They really gave effort in designing the lookout giving it a more beautiful ambience.

" TABOAN MARKET"

         I think anyone wouldn't leave cebu without taking home their most requested pasalubong. At taboan fish market you'll find all kinds of dried fish and squid that sells from 400-600 per kilo. You will save more instead of buying at the supermarkets or pasalubong stores. You can request to separate the dried fish and seal it per 100 grams. If you love longanisa they also have their local longanisa they call chorizo sold per dozen.

   

 Aside from dried fish & chorizo you can also find their export quality dried mangoes in different varieties. Dried mango chips, the newest mango chocolate and the classic mango slices which can also be bought per kilo that would cost around 400php. They also have other snack items like otap, durian candy squid rings etc. Food is just the best pasalubong from cebu and its best to get all of it from taboan market. Looking forward to my next trip to Cebu loving it already!
