Lion’s Head
It’s a great idea to pair this attraction with the Bridal Veil Falls, as they are both located along Kennon Road.
This 40-foot tall Lion’s head was a team effort by a variety of representatives in Baguio City. The idea to carve a giant lion’s head into the mountain was thought up by members of the Lion’s Club circa 1960-1970. These members then contracted a group of engineers and miners to stabilize and prep the limestone mountain where the monument was to be carved. Finally, a Filipino woodcarver by the name of Anselmo Bayang Day-ag brought this idea to life.
In person, the size of this undertaking is quite spectacular and makes a nice addition to a fun day of sightseeing.
