Burnham Park Lake - The Beautiful Baguio City
I've been to Baguio City for four times already and I should say this is a beautiful place. The only problem is it is too far from our place. We have to travel for 8 hours to reach that place and it is quite tiring because aside from the distance you also have have to go through zig zag roads just to reach the place. Nevertheless, the place is enjoyable. This is a cold, romantic place, with lush mountainous place around. This is where you could find beautiful fresh flowers and fruits. You will enjoy riding the small boat along the lake of Burnham park, the magnificent mountain view at the Mines View, the beautiful flowers at Camp John Hay, the delicacies and lots of souvenir items in every spot, the strawberry field and a lot more. You will not regret this place. You surely will go home with lots of memories to keep.

That's a cool field trip. The school trips I had in high school never got farther than Bulacan which sucked of course. Anyhow, I love Baguio! It's really cold there and you can wear the clothes that you like which you couldn't normally wear everyday in Manila. The taxi rides are cheap, and the scenic spots aren't really far from Burnham Park, so you won't spend a lot of money for fares. The people are nice and friendly. Although some would really rip you off especially the horse rides. But they're really fun to do. I haven't really experienced the night life in Baguio since I'm not that kind of person. All in all, my trips to Baguio were really cool ones and I wouldn't mind making it a habit to visit.

I am from baguio and sad to say I don't go back home often. One the fare is pretty expensive. And two there are so many people unlike before that you knew people walking the street. Now there are different people from different regions. There are also lots of koreans.

I grew up in Baguio. There are fewer trees now than there were before. Instead of trees in the mountains you can find houses. At night, the mountains look like Christmas trees. Baguio has become too populated and commercialized already. Baguio is just a small place. You can actually go to the tourists spots in a day - Burnham Park, Mines View Park, The Mansion, Botanical Garden, John Hay, PMA. Yes, bring lots of money, because you can buy many cheap souvenirs and goodies in the market. Enjoy and have a safe trip.

A few things that captivated me when we went there were the fog and high location of the city together with the cool climate. Our car barely carried us there having suffered several overheats. The road that lead up were mostly zigzags which I nearly did not like due to the discomfort it gave. The scenes to be seen on Baguio were refreshing that it felt like it's not a city but a barrio. My favorite site had been at the side of the road where the view toward the bottom of the canyon is clear with no obstructions. Me and a classmate boy looked down there with our hands on our knees while keeping our balance. That was our first and last trip. To summarize, it was fun.

i have been to baguio long time ago. and i really felt happy when i first gone there with my family. i have been to the botanical garden,which is really fun and the view where we can see the mayon there.can't remember the name of it. it was really fun cause i have seen fogs in the mornings and feel like i'm in the other country,not philippines. i wish i could tour again there and go to camp john hay and feel the presence of the flowers and the strawberries where there is. i love the horse back riding also but i haven't tried it yet. i wish i could try that someday....

ive been in baguio twice when i was in my high school days its a long trip but its worth it. i suggest you bring a lot of pocket money because they sell a lot of goods stuff/souvenirs & foods out there
