This is probably the most intricate architectural masterpiece I have ever seen. Since I am not yet well-traveled, I am saying that "so far" this has to be and I am looking forward for seeing more intricate architecture soon. 

This jaw-dropping dome is taken inside the Ma-Cho temple in San Fernando City, La Union. This is a Chinese temple located at a hill in the said city.

I wonder how they are able to maintain and clean this dome and it is really very detailed.

Heritage La Union

The city of San Fernando, the capital of La Union province is a coastal trading area facing the West Philippine Sea (formerly South China Sea).

After a tiring walking tour arround the city, the sunset just gave me an instant feeling of healing to my aching traveling feet. The sky seemed to open and pour down magic to the sea.

San Fernando, La Union is the regional center of Ilocos and for a busy day from the bustles of the city, it is just a perfect time to be at the hill (Chinese Pagoda) where I am now to view the relaxing sunset.

La Union Natural Wonders

Nurse Lakwatsero really never expected that this can be real. It was a very nice innovation. I have eaten at Brother's Grille in San Fernando City, La Union and this was what I have discovered.

Since I am stuck on my computer for almost 24 hours a day (including some scenes in my dreams, lol), I manage many blogs considering that I am a full-time nurse. I got interested with this halo-halo because of my FOOD BLOG. In fact my food blog is about budget eating.

I looked upon the available menu and this caught my attention. It was Halo-halo in a buko and it sounds interesting.

Actually, it was too huge for me to eat that some other clients nearby are talking about me. They might be thinking I can not hear them but I really can hear them that time. there were telling to me that malakas daw akong kumain (with voracious appetite) because of the huge halo-halo.

Well if they think I can eat that all, I really can not. It was too huge. Well, I don't care. I actually do everything I can do to experience something unusual and take note, I am a blogger. I can go everywhere, I can eat anywhere. I can do everything, I can eat anything. Hehe. That is the blogger spirit!

Food and Dining La Union

Pindangan Ruins serve as the remnant of a once grand church, now just a display - can no longer hold a decent mass. It has been dilapidated and abandoned. It is located at Brgy Parian in the city of San Fernando in La Union.

The sad thing here is that the structure wasn't just ruined, the history itself was also ruined by the people that's why I called it Double Ruins. The people (not all) of La Union doesn't know about this Pindangan Ruins when I asked many of them for a direction.

Even tricycle drivers that regularly ply the city roads also didn't know about it. They are more familiar to Carmelite Monastery, located in the same compound with the Ruins.

So if going here, tell the local driver "Send me to Carmelite Monastery" instead of Pindangan ruins because he might not know about it. The history was also ruined.

Heritage La Union

The Chinese Pagoda in the city of San Fernando in La Union is a perfect place to view the San Fernando Bay, more so if it is sunset. Aside from being a perfect place to view the sunset, it is also preferred by lovers to be a perfect place to date.

I was able to see the Chinese Pagoda also called the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Park in San Fernando City, La Union in a sunset. It is located atop a hill to an elevation where you can view the San Fernando Bay.

Just a simple insight, the park isn't maintained well. I don't know if the shortcoming comes from our government or the citizens themselves because what I saw was a very dirty park which garbage everywhere and full of vandalism. The sad thing is that, the things written at those walls are words I can hardly swallow :-(

Tell me who is to blame, our government or the people?
