Tam-awan Village. The native village of the arts.
Hidden from the busy Session Road is the rich cultural heritage of Baguio. Nope, you don't have to go up Cordillera mountains to find it. It's just nearby. Calling you. "This is the real Baguio before the Americans came. Not Burnham Park."

Ifugao Rice Terraces. UNESCO world heritage.
Older than the pyramids of Egypt, the combined length of the terraces is said to equal half the circumference of the earth. 8th wonder of the world. 8 hours from Baguio. Bus fare costs between PhP 380 to 480. 8 is a Chinese lucky number, you know. Ok, just saying.

Chaya Restaurant. Japanese hangout.
Ok, where do you go for a good Japanese cuisine? Follow the Japanese!
