Baguio City

[emongedmund]

yung highest point.. pinakamataas na part ng baguio ba? mount sto tomas yun, yung relay station (may 2 radar) hindi accessible ang oto dun maliban lang kung off road 4wd ang oto mo kyang kaya.

[StraightSix]

Strictly speaking ... yung dalawang ex-USAF OTH dish nasa Mount Cabuyao. The higher peak where most relay stations are, is Mount Sto. Tomas - which is further up the road. Both peaks are in Tuba, Benguet. But most people don't give a crap and consider them to be within Baguio .

Easiest way to Asin Road (leading to Asin hot springs) is to drive along Naguillian Road, starting from the City Hall. Once you pass a church (St. Vincent's), take the 4th LEFT turn. There should be a small mall at that junction, which is Cooyeesan.

And emongedmund is right. If you don't have a 4x4 don't bother going up Sto. Tomas.

kung di ka tiga baguio, park mo na lang ang sasakyan sa hotel mo or sa SM baguio , tapos taxi ka na lang paikot ikot..walang sakit sa ulo at di ka mawawala....mabait naman nga taxi drivers sa baguio...alam pa lahat ang shortcuts pag traffic..

gud day I am from baguio and just arrived from manila last wed. the roads are fine.. wala naman gaanong road works.. sa may urdaneta lang dati kaso ok na ang daan. mejo ok na rin ang daan sa kennon and best pa rin ang marcos hi.

dito sa baguio, mejo traffic na rin sa mga main roads like session rd. reguarding sa coding, d pa naman ako nahuli at mukang walang coding pa ksi kng meron dapat matagal na ako nahuli.

warning lang sa pag ddouble park sa main roads.. maiinit ang mga TMG sa mga nag ddouble park..

happy vacation!!!

hello emong, san ba naman masarap uminom dyan sa gabi, yon bang tipong libis open sesame thanks

Medyo maganda ang advice ni docpete as mahirap talaga ang maghanap ng parking within the city limts. I usually park at SM in the morning as fix rate naman , and just take a taxi . At kung medyo malamig specially during the early morning , maglakad lakad na lang around the city and just rediscover Baguio.
For lunch and dinner , try mo lang ang Rosebowl restaurant along Harrison Rd.
For other place of interest , try to visit Tam-Awan Village and by all means go to Mt. Sto Thomas as suggested by the guys.
Do have a nice time.

naka ilang punta na ko sa baguio saan ba yung Strawberry Farm????

[gecotbonjo]

Go to La Trinidad from Baguio and just before you reach the Capitol Building , it will be to your left. I think , a sign is there to show you the direction.

strawberry farm walang kwenta. puro tindahan wala naman gano strawberry. na-commercialize lang

wala naman mapuntahan na ok sa baguio, pahinga lang talaga. two US balikbayans na kaibigan ko ni-recommend pumunta sa Baguio, nabad-trip lang sila.

anyway, if you will be staying in Baguio (like we always do at least a week in the summer season), eto ma-i-recommend ko

first day (arrival day), grocery sa SM. buy all the veggies, pang-bulalo, pang-nilaga, mineral water, juice, wine, ice cream (yes ice cream), fruits, pang-breakfast, lunch, dinner you can possibly want. then luto to the max sa vacation house.

2nd day to last day, always rise up 530am and jog sa Camp John Hay dulo to dulo and dun sa may historical core/pet cemetery. ang sarap mag-jogging dyan, nature na nature plus the occassional elevated roads. wala pang pollution.

2nd day:

- visit the mansion, then the park in front of the mansion and that long stairs pababa sa kabayuhan less than 1 hour kaya 'to

- goto mines view, papiktyur kay douglas, papiktyur sa mines view, bumili ng nilagang buttered mais for P20, shop around sa mga shops sa mines view. (ingat lang madami mandurukot dito, I had one new roll of tissue sa jacket ko, pati yun pinitik) (1-3 hours puwede na)

- visit good sheperd, bumili ng ube hehehe. there is also a good viewing deck sa good sheperd ok din photo op dito. (1/2 hour)

- goto camp john hay, visit the mile high stores, have lunch, tour baguio manor hotel lobby, go up to the pet cemetery and admire the view, pay P 30 / person to tour the historical core, then go the place where meron mga bump cars, order tsokolate de batirol from the store with the same name. (another 1-3 hours here)

- then go to Baguio Botanical gardens, admire the view, papiktyur sa mga Igorot, shop around. nothing really special here (siguro 30min. kaya na)

- then go to Burnham Park, mag-boating or mag-biking kung gusto hehehe. this is really a not so big park. isang ikot lang puwede na. the sunken garden looks nice from afar pero dami activista

siguro by this time hapon na so, punta na lang ulit sa SM Baguio and admire the spectacular views of Baguio from there.

so that's about it the highlights of Baguio. 1 day lang hehehe.

other days, maglakad na lang sa session road ala HK, bumisita ng mga simbahan or go to La Trinidad and visit BSU and Strawberry Farm.

OT: Kung sakaling gutumin o antukin kayo on your way to Baguio and you're near Urdaneta City, you're most welcome to drop by our coffee shop, La Pia Taza Cafe. Malapit lang kami sa welcome arch ng Urdaneta City, on the right side of the highway if you're northbound

Kaso, I wouldn't advise going through Urdaneta City unless you're passing by at night or very early in the morning. Traffic sa may city center dahil nag-umpisa na naman ang pagbungkal nila sa highway kaugnay ng road widening project
