Lignon Hill Offers Views of Mayon Volcano and Legazpi City

Lignon Hill is located near Legazpi Airport. The hill stands at 156 meters (511 feet) tall and has best view of Mayon Volcano and the whole Albay. It is best to go there in the morning if you want to see Mayon Volcano without the clouds. When it’s in the afternoon, the clouds tend to cover the volcano. It is also good to go there during the late afternoons up to evenings so that you can see the sunset and the lights of Albay. Read More:pinoytravelr.com

As we climbed higher, the winds started to blow cold air which feels very good and we are slowly getting a nice view of Legazpi City from a high view point. After around 20 minutes, we reached the entrance gate going to Lignon Hill. We paid the entrance fee of P20/head. After some picture taking at the gates, we proceeded with the climb and not long after, we saw the signs going to the Japanese Tunnels.

For a brief history about the tunnels, it used to be an arms cache used by Japanese forces during WWII. The tunnel is fully lit with fluorescent lights and no matter where you turn at the tunnel intersections, the path would always just meet each other. There are parts where you have to duck to pass through but you mostly won’t have problems exploring as it isn’t as narrow and it is well lit. We didn’t get to explore much of the tunnels though, as a part of it was under construction when we arrived in there.
