Balamban's Little Garden

Another weekend escapade for me and my hubby as we took route Tabuelan to Cebu via the Transcentral Highway. Riding on a motorcycle along the transcentral has always been a breathtaking view for me and I will never get over the cold air and fog surrounding the mountains.

I remember the 3rd time we passed through the said highway, it was around 7:00 PM, the light posts are far from each other while going up, that it feels so eerie. We were the only ones on the road. It was so dark, plus the fog made it harder for us. Although, we are a group, traveling on 8 motorcycles, it still feels eerie as me and Ronald headed the pack.

Anyways, we saw this beautiful garden, I fell in love with the flowers and the view. It is about 33-34 kilometers east of Balamban bound lane, it is about 45-50 min ride from JY Square, Lahug, Cebu. I felt enchanted by the colorful flowers and the mountainous view.

Here's a few scraps I have taken, I hope you like it.

Picture taking is free, you may go to view deck and buy snacks like softdrinks, sandwiches and junk foods. The care taker said that the owner is a filipina and is now living abroad.

TOP SKYLINE GARDEN is located on one of the highest mountains in Busay, Cebu. It is overlooking the entire City and the islands of Mactan and Olango.











The place is open 24/7. Visiting at night time gives you the chance to see the city lights from above. Be sure to bring with you your jacket since it is going to be a bit cold.

The great part of the experience driving through the steep mountains, feeling the cool breeze is very refreshing. Going there through TAXI can be expensive, but you can ride a HABAL-HABAL for P 50.00 and have them wait on you for another P 50.00 per hour. The entrance fee is just P 100.00 but since I am already a member I have 50% discount. Haha!



If you plan to visit and eat, you better buy food in JY square or prepare your own food since it is going to be very expensive if you buy it there. Souvenirs are cheaper ranging from P 40.00 - 200.00.














TOP SKYLINE is one of the best tourists’ destination in Cebu and I would definitely recommend it to all tourists - to everyone to visit the place! ENJOY!
