Cebu City (Sirao Garden + Temple of Leah)

Hi there! π Iβm @benjtupas and welcome to another Travel PH82 Guide π΅π where I write DIY and budget-friendly guides for group and solo travelers on how to visit all 82 provinces of the Philippines!
For todayβs guide, letβs virtually explore Cebu City. This was a side trip during my Bantayan visit.
I highly recommend visiting other areas of Cebu like Whale Shark Watching + Tumalog Falls in Oslob and Badian Canyoneering + Kawasan Falls. Use Klook promo code BENJ5OFF to get 5% OFF on all Klook activities. π
I've tried all of them before I started this guide. I'll revisit some time in the future to create guides. π
Let's start this DIY and solo traveler-friendly guide. π
Going There:
