Unlock Philippine University City-How to Play Dumagueti

Dumaguete is located on Negros Island, the fifth largest island in the Philippines, and is the capital of East Negros Province. The city is not big. In addition to the oldest American-style university Siliman University in Asia, there are many universities such as East Negroe State University, so it is known as the "university city. In the online introduction, there are a few generalizations that are quite vivid: "Compared with the noisy Cebu (the second largest city in the Philippines), Dumagate is not only idyllic and leisurely, but also very bookish. The perfect combination of fireworks and paradise in this small town is one of the reasons why a large number of Westerners settle here."

In addition, Dumagueti is very close to APO Island, Sumiron Island (Sumilon) and Oslob, which can "dance" with whale sharks, and can be reached by boat. There is also an airport in the area, so Dumagueti has become a hub for many tourists to jump to the island.

The 100-year-old banyan tree, one of the famous scenic spots in Siquihor, is said to have a history of 500 years, but there is no way to verify it. The banyan tree is very large. There is a grocery store under the tree that sells coconut juice. At the same time, it is also the only place on the island that sells refrigerator magnets. The price is not expensive. Then go to Kambugahai Falls (CambugahayFalls) and walk down the mountain 135 steps to reach Kambugahai Falls, also known as Milk Falls.

Day 4, Oslo Whale Shark Dance Sumilon Island

Exploring the unknown blue endless ocean is a tourist project that many tourists are fascinated by. Come to Oslob and let you experience the feeling of dancing with whale sharks on the bottom of the sea. As the world's largest fish, whale sharks eat plankton and small fish for a living, seemingly fierce but gentle character, generally do not take the initiative to attack humans. Due to the previous indiscriminate hunting of humans, the current number of whale sharks has been precarious.

The density of whale sharks in the Philippines is among the highest in the world. The largest whale shark can be the size of a bus. If you want to feel roaming with such a behemoth, you must come to Oslob. The number of whale sharks in oslob, Philippines is actually very small, only about 20. You can choose to take a boat to watch or go snorkeling to watch, of course, the price will vary.

Next door is the famous Sumilong Island. Sumilong Island is quiet and peaceful. It is a very beautiful and relaxing place. Many lounge chairs, hammocks and other leisure equipment are arranged on the seaside. Lying in the lounge chairs and hammocks outside the house, looking out at the sea, all tiredness and troubles are swept away by the sea breeze.
