Taoist Temple, Visayas, Philippines

4.0 (1.486 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Visayas Religious Sites

A peaceful and breezy break from the city

The temple is free to visit and offers great views of Cebu city. There’s also seats, breeze and a lot of shade so we took a welcome rest from the city heat. I found it one of the more interesting attractions in Cebu. We didn’t pray or observe people praying, we just enjoyed the temple’s architecture and view. The Taoist temple is just out of the main part of Cebu City - a white taxi can be used to get here for around 100 pesos. You can either ask the taxi to wait for you or catch one on the way back. There isn’t a pool of taxis outside waiting for the return journey but don’t be overcharged by someone saying they will take you for 400 pesos. Just walk down the hill for 10 mins, past the security gate and flag down a metered taxi from there.

    A Jewel on the outskirts of Cebu City
    Get a metered cab (cheapest in Cebu City) to the Temple, you may want to ask them to wait as there are no taxis to bring you back. They are reasonable and are happy to stay for a negotiated fee. No entrance fee and you are greeted with a steep set of stairs to get to the temple. If you have difficulties in getting around this may not be for you although there are placed to stop if you take your time. The temple (s) are very well maintained and colourful, a very peaceful place just outside the hustle and bustle of Cebu City. The Temple is certainly worth a visit and the views over the city are also stunning.

    Meditate and relax
    A trip to Cebu is not quite complete without a visit to the Taoist Temple. Here, one can relax and meditate. And take photos as well. The serenity of the place makes for a nice mediatation. It’s clean and there are toilets. It’s quiet although once in a while some tourists express their delight in a rather loud manner. I would recommend this temple rather than another “temple” we had visited earlier (this one is the subject of another review). Go to the Taoist Temple. Relax. Meditate. Oh, take pictures, too.
