Dragon Treasure Castle
About
A stone castle on a Baguio mountainside! Dragon Treasure Castle in Upper Irisan is a medieval-style fortress of towers, battlements and courtyards, guarded by dragons and other mythical figures. Come at sunrise and you might catch the sea of clouds rolling through the Irisan valley below the walls; come late afternoon and the stone glows gold. Rent a princess gown or Igorot attire for your photos and watch for Cordilleran dances in the courtyard at peak hours. There are no rides here, just a walk-through castle with plenty of stairs!
Go before 1 PM today. Rain likely after.
