Taoist Temple

Reviewed By KevBstravels - Stowmarket, United Kingdom

Get a metered cab (cheapest in Cebu City) to the Temple, you may want to ask them to wait as there are no taxis to bring you back. They are reasonable and are happy to stay for a negotiated fee. No entrance fee and you are greeted with a steep set of stairs to get to the temple. If you have difficulties in getting around this may not be for you although there are placed to stop if you take your time. The temple (s) are very well maintained and colourful, a very peaceful place just outside the hustle and bustle of Cebu City. The Temple is certainly worth a visit and the views over the city are also stunning.

Temple of Leah

Reviewed By christinejoyful - Cebu City, Philippines

You don't need to travel all the way to Rome or Greece to see a temple. Temple of Leah is a very good replica of a real temple. Going there is convenient as they have a shuttle service for only P150 round trip. Pickup point at Jollibee, beside JY Square You can search FB for the shuttle service - Go To Tops.
