Davao, Philippines

Davao City is a true tapestry of Filipino culture unlike found anywhere else in the country and is more than just the provincial capital of the southernmost region of the Philippines. The Roxas Night Market has something for everyone, including grilled and barbecued fish, as well as simple but exquisite dishes like substantial law-uy vegetable soup and fresh seaweed salad called lato. Pungent durians, which are widely grown in the area together with pineapples, bananas, and sugarcane and are served in a variety of dishes from shakes to pies, are what best characterize Davao. The city takes pride in its native heritage and holds the Kadwayan Festival in August to display local textiles, woodwork, song, and dance from 11 tribes that rule from the surrounding mountains and sea. You can reach opulent Samal Island, well renowned for its immaculate beaches and pearl farms, by taking a ferry from the city. Travel by car down the palm tree-lined roads that lead to Mati, a popular surfing location, or take a side excursion to Mount Apo, the Philippines' tallest mountain and active volcano.


Davao is proud to protect its magnificent natural wonders. You may ascend to Mount Apo, the highest point in the Philippines, or descend to Samal Island's deepest seas. It kindly offers their Philippine Eagle Center, which houses the uncommon but endangered species of the Philippines like the monkey-eating eagle, if you're interested in learning more about wildlife preservation. Davao has a variety of attractions to suit everyone's preferences. As Filipinos, Dabawenyos are unquestionably friendly. The inhabitants of this country are kind and pleasant, and most, if not all, will smile at you when you arrive. Talk to some people and enjoy yourself as you make memories that will remind you why Davao is one of the nicest places you'll ever visit. That's all about the fifth underrated place to visit in Asia we want to mention.
