Lion Head, BAGUIO |
This black lion is one of Baguio’s most popular landmarks that welcome you to the City of Pines and the summer capital of the Philippines. Go by private vehicle as public buses do not passed by the Kenon Road. You can stop by this popular tourist spot and have your pictures taken

Trivia: If you like taking risk and passing awesome views then taking the Kenon Zigzag Road to Baguio is right up your ally
I say riskier because there had been many instances of landslides along the zigzag road especially when it is raining hard. To go to Baguio you can take alternate roads like Naguilan or Marcos Highway but you will not be seeing this welcoming lion if you do so.

Baguio’s famous delicacies or produce: Strawberry!!! Baguio is one of the very few places in the Philippines that have a ‘cold’ climate and one of its advantages is that farmers in Baguio plants strawberries
Most of Manila’s veggies also come from this city up in the mountains.
