The hanging bridge may be a tourist attraction, but it\u2019s more of a vital link for the people of Banaue.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Most of the people who cross the bridge are locals looking to get from Bocos Village and neighboring barangays to the town center. It\u2019s a lifeline for those looking to go to the market without having to go all the way around the Banaue Central School on foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The Hanging Bridge by itself isn\u2019t the sight you want to see. It\u2019s the river below that completes the experience, as well as walking on the bridge itself. Most people will see it as a scary walk across a very old bridge. Every step you take on the bridge will literally make a sound: the metal used on the walkway is not connected properly, but it is secure.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">There\u2019s no need to pay for anything to use the bridge. It was built to give students of Immaculate Conception and residents of Bocos Village an easier way to get to the town center and back without the need for transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You can find the Hanging Bridge just below the police station. There\u2019s a small staircase that leads down to the start of the bridge, but don\u2019t expect a grand staircase. It will be a challenge for those who are afraid of heights, but the short walk is well worth the trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Details:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><strong>Hanging Bridge<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Poblacion, Banaue, Ifugao<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banaue is famous mostly for its rice terraces.
