Bagiuo City (Summer Capital of the Philippines)

The chilly weather, the smell of pine trees and the overall feeling of spirituality define Baguio’s appeal. 

Bagiuo City (with 250,000 population ) is located in the northern part of Luzon. It is called the summer capital of the Philippines because of low temperature; even in summer it seems not affected by the temperature. Also called the City of Pines. 

Indigenous people like Igorot can be found here, they live in mountain part of Benguet but because of modernization, some of them went down the mountain to entertain what modern city can offer. Some visitors would take photographs of Igorot while in the area. They also make useful handcrafts. 

The city is the site of the Philippine Military Academy, the University of Baguio (1948), and Saint Louis University (1911). 

Baguio was designed in 1905 by the American architect Daniel H. Burnham. To honor him, a famous park is named after him the Burnham Park.
