Baguio City: Bell Church Taoist Temple

One of Baguio's newest and unknown attractions, near Benguet's capital town La Trinidad and just a short jeepney ride away from the City of Pines lies Bell Church, a Taoist temple.

Bell church looks so much like typical Chinese temples (like the Taoist Temple in Cebu) but it's location is hidden by lush garden surrounding it. Red color dominates the landscaping with dragons even at the gates.

A building inside the temple houses a queer fusion of Chinese images with familiar Catholic symbols. Incense sticks and saying your prayers as well as consulting Chinese people of your luck is available.
