The surrounding areas may feature gentle night sounds, contributing to a peaceful and spiritual experience."Cebu.Cebu Downtown>100km from Boracay IslandHighlights: The Church of the Holy Infant is located near Magellan's Cross. It was rebuilt in 1740 and has a history of more than 200 years. It is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the Philippines. In a room of the church there is a statue of a young Jesus, which according to legend was given to the Queen of Cebu by Magellan in 1521, and many locals will line up to pray here. The church has been bombed by wars many times, but the statue of the Holy Infant in the church is not damaged at all, so the locals call it a miracle, and worship of the Holy Infant has become one of the religious activities on the island. There is also a wishing pool in the church. I heard that it can cure all diseases. Many Catholics pray sincerely by the pool. A small museum inside the Museum Church that showcases the long traditions of Cebu City. Many ancient objects are on display, including century-old furniture, priests' robes, and various cloaks dedicated to the Holy Child.

Because the Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Cebu City is located on Mactan Island. This small island has all the modern amenities, besides having a national airport and a taxi ride to Cebu City, there are numerous luxury resorts on the island. This is a pure vacation island, with the most vacation spots in Cebu. There is no hustle and bustle and commercial taste of Cebu. There are beautiful beaches and resort facilities everywhere, luxury hotels, first-class restaurants, shopping malls are dizzying, and a variety of water activities such as windsurfing, diving, etc., make tourists physically and mentally. Comfortable, happy and unforgettable. The reason why Mactan Island is truly world-famous is because it is the site of the martyrdom of sailing explorer Magellan. On April 27, 1521, Magellan, who had successfully preached in Cebu, was full of confidence and prepared to cross the Mactan Strait to Lapulapu to continue to preach Catholicism. When he arrived, he was stopped by the patriarch of Labrabu and his warriors, who killed him. Later generations built the Magellan Martyrdom Monument at the site of Magellan's martyrdom in 1866 to commemorate the great navigator. There are also paintings describing Magellan's deeds nearby, which are worth watching. The Labrabu Monument commemorating the same war is also located on Mactan Island. The monument was built in the early 20th century. The Labrabu on the monument holds the weapon that he fought against Magellan in that year to show the heroic courage of the Filipinos. The monuments are only 100 meters away.Show Less
