Fabulous Philippines
To South-east Asia we go to see the white stone lions on guard. Colleen walked by lions and dragons, incredible acrchitecture and lush foliage: I was in the Philippines in March. Many sights! In Cebu City – the oldest city in the Philippines – this was a statue we passed climbing a set of stairs to the Taoist temple.
DID YOU KNOW? The Cebu Taoist Temple was built in 1972 by Cebu’s Chinese community. Taoism is a religion which follows the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tze. On Wednesdays and Sundays, worshippers climb the 81 steps (representing the 81 chapters of Taoism scriptures) to light joss sticks and have their fortune read by the monks. Tourists are welcome!
