Good Evening Everyone.
I'm gonna share this beautiful scenery again, this time I will feature our very beautiful "Hundred Islands National Park."
The Hundred Islands National Park is located in Alaminos City, Pangasinan. Also known as “Kapulo-puloan” these little Islands are one of the most magnificent natural geological formations in the Philippines
The islands are dispersed along the Lingayen Gulf and have a total land area of 1,844 hectares or 18.44 square kilometers. There are 124 islands here but one gets submerged in water during high tide.
The islands are shaped like giant umbrella. The islands are about two million years of age; it was theorized that they are part of the seabed a long long time ago. Among the islands, only three have been developed for travelers and vacationists, namely: Governor Island, Quezon Island, and Children's Island. Not all the islands have names. These islands are made of limestone roofed with think shrubbery and other flora.
The whole place is really like a paradise because of its clear water and sparkling blue sky which are very refreshing to the eyes. Watching the sun strike the islands and their surrounding waters is one of the wonderful views you can witness here. This island is most visited during summer period by lots of tourists both local and foreign.
