					<description><![CDATA[Street parties and beer showers not really appealing? We won't judge. Luckily, the Queen City offers a lot of things to do besides partying it up this Sinulog weekend. ]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stripping away all my&nbsp;boundless&nbsp;enthusiasm for Sinulog-related posts on this website, personally<em>—personally—</em>I would rather just <a href="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/how-to-survive-sinulog-like-a-boss/">follow my friend Micah&#8217;s advice</a> and skip the street parties altogether. Maybe I&#8217;m&nbsp;just concerned about my safety, or I&#8217;m wary at how things always end up out of control, or that I&#8217;ve just celebrated one too many times (having lived in Cebu all my life)&#8230; who knows, really?&nbsp;</p>
<p>My sentiments, of course, don&#8217;t diminish the quality of the celebrations, but I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m not the only one who feels the same way.&nbsp;Luckily, the Queen City offers a lot of things to do besides partying it up on the streets. Here are some suggestions for when you don&#8217;t want to Sinulog this year, whether you just want to avoid the crowds or want a change in scenery.</p>

<h2>ISLAND HOPPING</h2>
<div id="attachment_11446" style="width: 1162px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bluewatersumilon-shiftingsands1.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11446" class="size-full wp-image-11446" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bluewatersumilon-shiftingsands1.jpg" alt="Sumilon Island" width="1152" height="922" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bluewatersumilon-shiftingsands1.jpg 1152w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bluewatersumilon-shiftingsands1-300x240.jpg 300w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bluewatersumilon-shiftingsands1-768x615.jpg 768w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bluewatersumilon-shiftingsands1-1024x820.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-11446" class="wp-caption-text">Sumilon Island</p></div>
<p>Cebu is home to a number of beautiful islands, and while on a normal day you&#8217;d be competing against eager tourists, Sinulog would be the perfect time to have them all to yourselves (or, okay, at least less people). We highly recommend Nalusuan, Pandanon and Olango Island for their turquoise waters. If you&#8217;d like to go a little farther, Sumilon Island in Oslob is worth the two hour trip.</p>

<h2>CANYONEERING</h2>

<p>A relatively new attraction, canyoneering in Badian has drawn quite the crowds during peak season. While there&#8217;s an influx of tourists in town for Sinulog, you might want to take advantage of everyone hitting the streets instead on Sunday to have your own canyoneering adventure. Drive two hours south to the town of Barili and find your way to Barangay Matutinao.</p>

<h2>GOING TO THE BEACH</h2>

<p>Cebu takes pride in having beaches 30 minutes away from the city<i>,</i> and while realistically it&#8217;s at least an hour because of the traffic, the fact remains you don&#8217;t actually have to go far to find yourself at sea. Real estate developer recently opened the Mactan Newtown Beach (née Portofino) to the public, while those more inclined to resorts would love Shangri-La&#8217;s Mactan Resort &amp; Spa and Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu.</p>
<p>Shangri-La is offering a special rate of Php 2,080 nett for lunch buffet for two at Tides on January 14-15, while Movenpick has their Sinulog Festive buffets on Sinulog Friday (dinner) and Sinulog Sunday (brunch) for Php 1,900 nett per person. There will also be cultural shows throughout the hotel that weekend, while Ibiza Beach Club&#8217;s cocktail of the month, Fizz Senor, is a tribute to the festivities.</p>

<p>Besides beaches, did you know Cebu has a lot of gorgeous waterfalls also? They may not be as majestic as the more famous ones throughout the country, but they&#8217;re breathtaking nonetheless. Head down to the town of Alegria in Cebu for Cambais Falls and Cancalanog Falls, both of which are sure to thrill adventure-seekers, or to the more popular Kawasan Falls in Badian.</p>

<p>When you&#8217;re not really inclined to bodies of water, Cebu also has a variety of mountains worth climbing. The most famous one is Dalaguete&#8217;s Osmena Peak, which resembles the iconic Chocolate Hills of Bohol and gives enviable views of Badian, Pescador and Negros. Other worthwhile peaks include Mount Manunggal in Balamban and Kabankaya in Catmon.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We ask Jen Sarmiento about her favorite hot spots around the city, and why they think it’s the best on the island.</p>
<div id="attachment_9655" style="width: 690px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9655" class="wp-image-9655 size-full" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jen-Sarmiento1.jpg" alt="Jen Sarmiento, Founder and CEO of Beauty and Beyond Philippines" width="680" height="700" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jen-Sarmiento1.jpg 680w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jen-Sarmiento1-291x300.jpg 291w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /><p id="caption-attachment-9655" class="wp-caption-text">Jen Sarmiento, DJ and CEO of Beauty and Beyond Philippines</p></div>
<h3>TOPS</h3>
<div id="attachment_9662" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9662" class="wp-image-9662 size-full" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/panorama-tops.jpg" alt="panorama tops" width="700" height="205" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/panorama-tops.jpg 700w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/panorama-tops-300x88.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-9662" class="wp-caption-text">A view of Cebu from Tops</p></div>
<p>Out of all the places in Cebu, I would probably say that Tops is my all-time favorite spot. This place is not only romantic, but it is extremely overwhelming and relaxing as well. If you simply want to wander off and be somewhere out of the city, this would be the perfect spot. Not only do you get the cool refreshing wind sensation tingling down your spine, but you also get a breathtaking view of the city. The most ideal time to go here would be at night, where the area transforms into a real life planetarium. There were times in the past that I was even able to witness a meteor shower. Tops truly is an amazing spot worth visiting, taking into consideration that is just 30 minutes away from the city. Tops in one word is breathtaking.</p>

<h3>SHANGRI-LA&#8217;S COWRIE COVE BEACH FRONT</h3>
<div id="attachment_9657" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9657" class="wp-image-9657 size-full" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Cowrie-Cove.jpg" alt="Cowrie Cove " width="1000" height="393" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Cowrie-Cove.jpg 1000w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Cowrie-Cove-300x118.jpg 300w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Cowrie-Cove-768x302.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p id="caption-attachment-9657" class="wp-caption-text">Cowrie Cove</p></div>
<p>Another favorite spot to hang out in a &#8220;chill&#8221; atmosphere would be the cowrie cove beach front. This is an ideal place to watch the sunset with your favorite people in the world. I&#8217;ve done this a lot&nbsp;and the feeling is fulfilling every time. Moreover, you get to enjoy their delicious cocktails and quick bites and you can have fun frolicking in the sand &#8217;til night time.</p>

<h3>OSLOB</h3>
<div id="attachment_9663" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9663" class="wp-image-9663 size-full" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jen-2.jpg" alt="Jen with her family and friends at Oslob" width="700" height="519" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jen-2.jpg 700w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Jen-2-300x222.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-9663" class="wp-caption-text">Jen with her family and friends at Oslob</p></div>
<p>For nature lovers like me, Oslob is one of the spots I truly enjoy. In Oslob, I was able to experience swimming with the world&#8217;s largest fish. It is quite a remarkable experience for people who enjoy long drives and a mix of adventure. The icing on the cake would probably be the unforgettable whale shark or &#8220;butanding&#8221; in the local dialect.</p>
