Lon Wa Buddhist Temple is a must-see tourist attraction in Davao City. It is one of the biggest Buddhist temples in the Philippines and the biggest in Mindanao, and the most popular temple in Davao City. It is located along J.P. Cabaguio Avenue in Agdao District, some 3 to 4 kilometers northeast of the center of Davao City.

Lon Wa or Long Hua, which means “Temple of the Dragon”, is home to Kung Fu monks and nuns of the Philippine Academy of Shakya, a Buddhist religion movement. Many Chinese tourists and migrants visit this place to worship and pay respect.

The Temple’s architecture is a marvel in itself. The Temple walls are laden with slabs of Italian marbles and the grounds are beautifully landscaped with lush greenery of several varieties of flowering plants and palm trees.

In Tagum City, where you can find the only resort in a Banana Plantation, also lies the world’s largest rosary. It can be found in the biggest cathedral in Mindanao, The Christ the King Cathedral. As the biggest basilica, the Christ the King Cathedral itself is an attraction to tourists or visitors but it became more known since the creation of the world’s largest rosary which was originally intended as a project of the Knights of Columbus to commemorate the silver anniversary of the City of Tagum Diocese in 2005.

The largest basilica in Mindanao, which was designed like a castle, has its distinctive architecture that most tourists find amazing and impressive. The cathedral’s design is a touch of modern and traditional architecture which is different from other churches here in the Philippines. Behind the cathedral sits the largest rosary in the world that weighs 2,815 kilograms.
