I'd been to Baguio City before but its just now that I've known about this place. I thought its just me but everyone else with me in the trip didn't know about this, good thing our rented van driver took us here.
It was another cold early morning about 6:30 AM at 11 degrees Celsius. No one's here. At first we hesitated to go inside as we thought it was close but when we get up the stairs it was open and we're the only visitor at that time.
The place was so peaceful. First thing I noticed was the concrete stairs with Chinese inscriptions. I don't really know what's written there, maybe the donors just like other parks and churches. As most Taoist temples, you'll see dragon highlights and most of the structures around were colored red.
How to get there:
If you're going by car, coming from Baguio City, take the Magsaysay Road, the bell church is located a few steps from the boundary welcome arch of La Trinidad, Benguet.
If you're commuting, the easiest is to ride a taxi specially if you are in a group of 3 t¥ 4 person, besides taxi fare in Baguio is cheaper than everywhere else in the Philippines. from Baguio City, ride a jeepney going to La Trinidad then tell the driver to drop you off in Bell Church. Fare is Php 8.50.
If you opt to go to strawberry farm first, you can ride a jeepney going to Baguio City and tell the driver to stop in Bell Church. Same jeepney fare at Php 8.50.
This might be one of the boring places to visit in Baguio. But for me, its a must see.
