The lion's head along Kennon Road is the undisputed landmark that is synonymous to Baguio City.
It is commonly said that a trip to Baguio City would not be complete without taking home a souvenir photograph with
the famous lion head which serves as the backdrop on Kennon Road.
Local and foreign tourists make it a point to stop in Camp 6 and have their photographs taken at the base of the
lion head. The 40-foot high lion head, located a few kilometers from the Kennon Road view deck, was carved by a
Cordillera artist from a limestone boulder. Lions Club members of Baguio City thought of creating a symbol that
would proclaim the presence of the group in this mountain resort city.
Just beside the lion head are a few small stalls that sell woodcarving and other native handicraft. Softdrinks and
light snacks are also sold to visitors who take time to stop and take a break after the 45-minute drive up Kennon Road.
The vendors have enjoyed high sales since this popular landmark was constructed. (Text Hawaiian Webmaster)
