The Bell Church is a Chinese temple of the Chinese Filipino indigenous religious organization of the same name in La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines.
ABOUT BELL CHURCH
Bell Church is a Taoist temple that is known to be one of the most peaceful places in the city. A striking pagoda and beautifully landscaped gardens soothe the soul even before you enter the temple.
Once you see the welcome sign to La Trinidad, you will be dropped off in front of the entrance along Magsaysay Ave. The temple itself is not yet seen from here. You need to walk and hike up to reach the site that will give you a vantage point of the rest of Baguio City.
Bells, dragons and flags welcome you to this Chinese temple that is calmly spiritual and incredibly tranquil. There is even a lotus pond that adds to the beauty of this serene temple.

MY VISIT TO BELL CHURCH
Visiting Bell Church is something you can just add up if you have a loose itinerary. Going to this place will give you the need to go to a jeepney terminal in Slaughter House Area along Magsaysay Ave. for you to get a jeepney ride bound to La Trinidad.
Bell Church is actually located in the boundary of Baguio and La Trinidad. Visitors make this a sidetrip to Strawberry Farm which is a few meters away from here and today's famous Stobosa Hillside or the Valley of Colors which I haven't seen yet during my visit here in 2012.
Once you see the welcome sign to La Trinidad, you will be dropped off in front of the entrance along Magsaysay Ave. The temple itself is not yet seen from here. You need to walk and hike up to reach the site that will give you a vantage point of the rest of Baguio City.
The pathway is easy to track as it is surrounded by a residential area. Chinese exteriors and signs are already visible from here as you walk to the temple.
You will be welcomed by these two lion sculptures upon entering the outside area of the temple. The whole place will really gives you a Chinese ambiance. It is surrounded by plants and trees too. The temple is located at this level. There's no entrance fee.
Some levels will give you another view of Quirino Hill in Baguio City.
At the time of our visit in 2012, we weren't able to get inside the actual temple. We just decided to explore and took some photos.
We took a short rest then we headed to Strawberry Farm after.
