Day 1 | Morning

Recommended Length of Stay: 0.5-1.0 Days

Location: Vigan, Luzon 2700, Philippines

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Located on the northwest shore of Luzon, Philippines, Fujian people call it the American shore. The Chinese translations are scattered online, and there is no official name. It is just a town of tens of thousands of people, but it has been built by the Spanish since 1562, with a history of more than 500 years. And because it has not been developed, many buildings in the central area remain a century or even 300 years old, like living fossils. There is only one road to Vigan, from San Fernandes and Soapy Bay to Manila, 8 hours south, and Lavou to the north. It takes 2-3 hours to Lavo. The map is not too far away, but because there is only one line for the round-trip, so slow trains, even dukduk will make your car stay at 30-50km per hour. Because of the inconvenience of transportation, this United Nations cultural heritage is not much foreign tourists. Recently, Fei Lavo sits again Car to ... a very rich city worth seeing, but not too many people know of the historic city.

Steeeee10: enjoy the history when you go in Vigan Heritage Village, its old houses are well reserved and just being there you can feel so much about history. also the street ice cream is a must try. and the carousel ride and horses are quite fascinating.
