Cebu Taoist Temple

business.about

Perched 110 meters above Cebu City, this temple tells a story of the city's Chinese Filipino community. Built in 1972, the multi-tiered temple offers more than stunning views. Visitors can participate in traditional rituals like dropping wooden blocks to make wishes or climbing 81 steps representing Taoist scripture chapters. The entrance mimics the Great Wall, and spacious balconies overlook downtown Cebu. Open to worshippers and tourists, the temple includes a chapel, library, and souvenir shop where you can learn about Taoist philosophy and local cultural traditions.
