5 scenic spots in Cebu Island, the Philippines to share on social media

This fascinating temple may look ancient and historic, but it was actually built in 2012. Alan Modesto Adarna built the Temple of Leah as a monument to his undying love for his late wife, Leah Villa Albino-Adarna to whom he had been married for 53 years at the time. While he built it for his future generations to visit, it is also fascinating to visitors and makes a perfect background for a romantic selfie with your loved one.

Tops Lookout is the best place to view Cebu City in all its glory. The lookout is on Mt. Busay and panoramic views can be enjoyed while relaxing on one of the provided benches. There is also a restaurant to enjoy a meal with a view, or visitors can enjoy a picnic. The best time to visit is sunrise, where the sun can be seen colourfully rising above the city.

Simala Shrine is located in Sibonga Town and is among the most religious temples in Cebu. The ornate architecture looks almost European and the winding bridge and pathway up to the church is fascinating to see. The inside of the church is also photograph-worthy, but visitors must be aware of the dress code. No short sleeves and male visitors should wear long pants.

Located in Alcoy, Cebu, Tingko Beach is a small lagoon, hidden from the road and overlooking the Mabadon Reef. The water is crystal clear and the sand is white, with trees hugging the beach. While it is a hidden beach, it can get busy in the prime season, but most of the time it is the perfect place to hang out and relax. Bantayan sa Hari, a watchtower dating back to the Spanish occupation, is at the northern end of the beach.

Kawasan Falls is a wonderfully scenic place with three pretty waterfalls, filling natural swimming pools and turquoise lagoons. Swimming here is a pleasure, or you could take a bamboo raft to Kawasan Falls, riding under the falling water. The falls can be reached by hiking through the jungle trails or by bus from the South Bus Terminal in Cebu City.
