The Bell Church is a little outside the busy area of Baguio City but still worth visiting. It is a quiet place to catch your breath and enjoy the smell of the pine trees. If you are cam-addicts, this will serve your purpose because you are free to explore. Just make sure not to leave thrash behind and keep your... More

Bell Church was good walking exercise, took lots of photos of the area and the views. It was quiet and peaceful. Our driver knew the short cuts to get there. I really enjoyed this spot.

It was a beautiful site to visit. I was just so sad that pictures are not allowed. Be prepared for a lot of stairs though, it is a long way to the top of the mountain and the largest Pagoda.

We were surprised to see this church among churches in this catholic country. In spite of the church name, Bell Church is actually a chinese temple with a nice garden, a tall pagoda with a chinese shrine with Chinese gods instead of the Jesus Christ. What is difference from the other Chinese shrines is the benches that are in the... More

Lots of people come here. Parking is limited and the driveway is very narrow (good for 1 car only). This temple has several stairs, so not good for old people. Lots of interesting spots inside for picture taking. That's all. Nothing great. If you nothing else to do, you can add this to your itinerary.

Big Taoist temple in Baguio. Maybe if it is your first time to visit one, you would find it interesting but if you have been travelling extensively in Asian countries and been to several temples already. You will not be impress.

This Buddist Church and it's setting is worth the effort. The grounds are very Chinese and the church is quite peaceful, being a good place to take a few minutes to relax and realize your blessings at being there.

This is not really in Baguio City. This is just on the outside of Trinidad Valley. A nice place to visit on the way to the Strawbery Farms.
