Mt.Carmel chapel/Tukon Chapel
1 saveRecommendation by Lemi
Located on the northern tip of the Philippines, Batanes is a dream wedding location for many couples. Tukon Church or Mt. Carmel Chapel is a much-coveted wedding location for its unique design inspired by traditional Ivatan stone houses. Known for its thick walls made of limestone and mortar, this building is considered a heritage treasure. Just imagine saying "I do" while overlooking the rolling hills and verdant mountains!

The very first Roman Catholic church in Korea. If you're going just to see it, I suggest maybe visiting on a weekday. They close the church to sightseers during mass times on Sundays, which is practically almost ever hour. PSA—if you're late for the 9am English mass, you can't get in anymore, so be early!!! Or actually, there might be a way to go in but we didn't try hard enough.

Beautiful temple complex. I wish I had more time to explore the area. I originally wanted to book a temple stay here, but they only held the one-day ones on Thursdays, and they cancelled the one on the week were in Seoul for an event. Definitely coming back for that one though. Check out the gift shop before you go. They have great Buddhist-related stuff, like lucky bracelets. (I got one and I wear it everyday.)
Ananda Temple
Hero: Minsitthar, Courageous Warrior Position: Fighter Ultimate: Awakens the strength of the Golden Shield to obtain 200 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Shield and increases 30% Movement Speed immediately This hero is inspired by King Kyansittha of the Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) and is considered as one of the greatest Burmese monarchs. He gave sanctuary to Buddhists fleeing India (which had just come under Muslim rule). The king entertained eight Indian monks for three months. Fascinated by the monk's stories of their great cave temple of Ananta in India, the king had the Ananda Temple made as imitation.
