Perched on the top of Cebu’s classy Beverly Hills, Taoist Temple stands as an impressive modern place of worship built by the city’s Chinese community in 1972.

    A really beautiful temple overlooking the city, featuring a shop selling various things (Including water), clean restrooms, a few nice building and two areas to get a break and some shade. After a hot day, it was really a nice spot to rest and admire the city. If you are on the way to the temple of Leah, it's worth the detour.
  • By Svein Johansen
    If you are in to beautiful temples, this is a great place to go and see. Sitting on a hill. Good security. But be ready to climb stairs. Not for disabled. And show respect for the monks. Some places not allowed to take pictures.
