Puerto Princesa City, also known as Puerto Princesa City, is a port city in the central-eastern part of Palawan, Philippines, located on the southern shore of Honda Bay (Honda Bay), and is the capital of Palawan province. It is famous for its crocodile farming, underground rivers, and diving attractions. Puerto Princesa City is the starting point for exploring Palawan and a transfer hub for visiting other parts of Palawan. For example, if you want to visit Honda Bay in central Palawan and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park), you will depart from Puerto Princesa City.

The Baywalk in Puerto Princesa City is not far from the city center and is actually a Doha Corniche along the bay. The water here is calm, and after 5:00 PM, it becomes a leisure spot for locals with a great atmosphere. We recommend coming here to enjoy the tranquility before sunset.Puerto Princesa · 25.5 km from downtown

The Holy Spirit's Conception Cathedral is a very famous "Blue Cathedral" in Puerto Princesa, which can be reached by walking westward along Rizal Street. The church was built in 1872. The main building is light blue. It is a very beautiful blue building. The sunlight through the blue glass makes the church a blue world. There are many statues of Filipino celebrities in front of the church, and many local residents will come to the square in front for recreation. The glass in the church is transparent and very bright. Although it is not so luxurious and complicated, it has another fresh taste.Puerto Princesa · 25.9 km from downtown
