16,000 blossoms of Lintaon Peak
Curious travelers are mostly after the park’s 16,000 blossoms, which is quite similar to that of Cebu’s 10,000 Roses Café. The only difference is that Lintaon Peak’s blossoms come in both red and white colors, not just white.

The artificial blossoms are made of LED lights, and is best viewed at dusk to nighttime when the lights magically transform the area.
The red blossoms was formed saying "(heart emoji) Baybay". This newest ecotourist attraction was built by the LGU of Baybay and was opened last June 16, 2017 since that day was their charter day and that tells exactly why it's 16k blossoms.
There is an entrance fee of ₱20. Souvenir stalls line the entrance, so you have the option to buy some before exploring the park or when you’re about to leave.
