Title:
The long and winding road
Description:
@danvicphotos Experience a refreshing view similar to the Great Wall of China, the Bilagan Road has been perfect attraction especially for bikers who want to test their endurance. This is the route going to Sasaba Rice Terraces and Simminublan Falls in La Union, Philippines. Once bikers reach the summit, they will be rewarded with a beautiful view as well as refreshments from a store.But more importantly, this former dirt road connect the isolated municipalities between La Union and Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The newly constructed 10-kilometer upland concrete road significantly improve the road safety and reduce travel time from a 5-hour hike to a 15-minute drive. The wider road will not only improve the livelihood opportunities of local people particularly the farmers with faster delivery of goods and services but also boost the tourism industry in the area, particularly as it leads to most scenic driving routes to Simminublan Falls, a local attraction.
