  Pangasinan has many tourist spots to offer. One of them is the sunflower maze located at brgy. Lichauco Tayug, Pangasinan. It is the first ever sunflower maze in the Philippines run by Allied Botanical Corporation, a vegetable seed breeder, producer and distributor.    The maze was first opened last February 15, 2017 but due to heavy foot traffic that caused some landscapes heavliy damaged and also flowers are starting to wither due to heavy rainfall they temporarily closed the place. Then, last March 25, 2017 the sunflower maze opened again in public.    This agro-tourism destination offers an educational tour to the kids and adults in a fun way. In here you will see different kinds of flowers and vegetables that was designed by landscape artist Toni Rivera that makes the place picturesque.    For those who wants to have a sunflower you can pick and buy for only 25 pesos for small and 50 pesos for the big o...

After our tour at Tondol white sand beach in Anda Pangasinan we planned to go straight to Bolinao because we want to try the sungayan fish. We didn't know where is it and we didn't know what's the name of the restaurant where we can eat sungayan. Way to Sungayan grill      Upon reaching Bolinao we followed the way going to the light house and ask some locals on where we can eat sungayan fish. One of the locals there recommend the Sungayan grill and its about 5-6 kilometer from the national road. My friend wants to back out but I said we are already near so we have to go there. Floating Restaurant      The place is easy to find because of signage along the way. Upon reaching the place I was overwhelmed, it reminds me of Loboc river in Bohol.  Sungayan Grill is a floating restaurant...

At the entrance of Sumaguing Cave        Getting a tour package from a travel agency is the easiest way to reach and roam around Sagada but backpacking is fun and you can learn a lot of new things.     Sagada is a place where it was most visited during sunmer and when the Panagbenga starts in Baguio City. Most tourist get a sidetrip at Baguio City to witness the Panagbenga then go straight to Sagada or the other way around. Sagada is a town in a Cordillera Mountains within the Philippines, Mountain Province. We went to Sagada via public transportation.

They only have limited trips and the bus leaves once its full even if its not yet time to leave. First trip is around 6:30am and last trip is around 1 pm. We get the last trip since we decided to have a tour first in Baguio City. Fare for the bus from Baguio to Saga...
