ShipHaus and Man-Made Forest (Bohol City, Philippines)

Man-Made Forest of Bohol is our next stop.

This is how the man-made forest of Bohol looks like. 
Too bad my Samsung Note's battery got empty just when we arrived here.
Lesson learned: bring extra batteries


Before you could reach the Man-Made Forest, you will pass through the ShipHaus. The Shiphaus is a real house designed to look like a ship. The owner of this house is a ship captain who is Captain Dumapias, a local of Batuan, Bohol.

 The front area of the house resembles a ship.
Tourists would drop by and take some pictures outside and inside the shiphaus.






The shiphaus became prominent that it was featured in several local tv shows in our country.


-----
After the Shiphaus, we went to the Man-Made Forest of Loboc, Bohol.





Here lives standing tall are the Mahogany trees in a 2-kilometer road. Before, only natural forest trees were living. However, it was said that the people specifically the boy scouts planted Mahogany trees in this area. And after a few years, this is how it looks like. The entire rain forest is so green and so clean. A lot of tourists will come and visit this area for picture taking. No throwing of garbage. No cutting of trees. Locals here consider cutting of these trees a crime. Well, that's one good way of preserving their greens.





Very enchanting..





 Jumpshot with my dear friend Carmona.


Just look at the size of the roots of this tree...



If you are a nature lover like me, write down Man-Made Forest in your list and don't forget Shiphaus in Bohol, Philippines. No entrance fee. It's FREE!

Take nothing but PICTURES.
Leave nothing but FOOTSTEPS.

Have a great day!
