Magellan’s Cross is located along Magallanes St. in front of Cebu City Hall and across Basilica Minore del Santo Niño. It is approximately 30 minutes by car from Mactan Cebu International Airport depending on the traffic situation.
The site is always open to visitors even on weekends and holidays; and there is no admission fee. There are several vendors too selling different items like candles.
Some believe that the original cross had been destroyed or had disappeared after Magellan’s death and the present cross is just a replica placed by the Spaniards after their successful colonization of the Philippines.
Located in the wealthy residential suburb of Beverly Hills about 6 km north of downtown Cebu is an enormous Taoist Temple. It was built by Cebu's substantial Chinese community
The temple is the a center of worship for Taoism, the religion which follows the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tze. You can see Taoist devotees following their rituals on Wednesdays and Sundays, as they climb the 99 steps of the temple to light joss sticks and have their fortunes read by the monks.
