Tamayong Prayer Mountain — Attraction in Davao City

This was taken last December 2018. We traveled from South part of Davao City. Going there if you're not used to cold weather you must bring with you a sweater. Also, you shouldn't wear shorts and sleeveless as this place is considered a sacred place.

As it was near Christmas Day the entrance was on sale from Php500- to Php350. The children up to 7 years old are free to enter while children aging 10 years old are at Php150-. If you will come in group you should prepare the list of your group corresponding to their age, if you have senior citizens take their ID's. 65 years old and above is free too.

No worries for food as their are vendors selling from batchoy, kakanin and even barbecue. But they are costly compare to outside prices. If you have kids with you make sure to bring a spare clothes as they will surely be sweaty and smelly plus dirty as they will enjoy a fall of foam aka snow.

I can't tell how much you will pay in going there as we went there using a...

Drove 1 hour to reach this place. Looked promising but then I was refused entry because I was wearing shorts. Everyone wearing shorts was sent to a section where you can rent pants.

It's ok I'm not upset about their policy, I'm upset how they don't mention it when buying the tickets. I let my entire family go inside because they already had an excitement built up. I left and went to a nearby town to have dinner while I family enjoyed the place. I guess I should have done research and known about the policy. I'm just a little bitter how they do it, it's like they don't mention it at the ticket office so you're forced to rent pants, therefore they...

PROS: New, nice colorful buildings by day which become more beautiful at night when lighted. Nice Gardens. A nice Christmas Parade similar to the ones in big malls like the SM Mall of Asia. All Visitors need to be accompanied by Guides initially who will explain things like Trivia and the History about the place. Buffet Food at the Restaurant was pretty good.

CONS: Expensive Entrance Fee of Php 350 per Person which is not consumable during my visit there on November 2019. You can use Cash directly, you need to buy Cash Cards first before you can buy things. Walking Shorts are not allowed since it is supposed to be a religious place also, but you can rent loose Pants for Php 50. The Pants were clean, newly washed and ironed. The place is a bit out of way, we went there using a...
