Cebu is one of the most beautiful tropical islands of Fareast Asia. It is actually
a part of Philippines. The island is pretty large and at one point of time was
part of The Spanish Empire as a colony. Colonization of Cebu by the Spanish resulted
in several things that had a very deep influence on the socio-economic structure
of the Cebuano people. Roman Catholicism made rich forays into the society, several
Cebuano villagers converted to Christianity. One of the things to do in Cebu is
to visit the relics of Spanish civilization. The first Asian Basilica is located
in Cebu and offers an insight into the style of Spanish architecture prevalent
at that time. There are many extremely attractive sight seeing spots in Cebu.
In fact there are so many things to do in Cebu that you might feel that your week
long holiday was too short, if you had a longer time, then you would have enjoyed
more.
For sightseeing, you must visit Verdemar Golf Course, Cebu International Golf
and Resort, Fort San Pedro, Magellan's Cross, Guadalupe Cave, Lapu Lapu Shrine,
Cebu International Convention Center, Taoist Temple, the parks and gardens of
Cebu. You must shop in Colon Street which is the oldest street in Philippines,
there are some really good boutiques here and for other articles of interest
too Colon Street does not have any parallel. If hectic shopping and sightseeing
is not your cup of tea, then just laze around in the beautiful beaches getting
that perfect tan!
