Ifugao: See
Most visitors come to Ifugao just to see the Banaue Rice Terraces, which is a disservice to the fact that it is just one of five rice terrace complexes in Ifugao that are designated as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. In fact, the terraces depicted in postcards are not part of the list, which are actually composed of two terraces in outlying villages of Banaue (Batad and Bangaan), and one each in the towns of Hungduan, Kiangan (Nagacadan) and Mayoyao.
Kiangan is known as the cradle of Ifugao civilization and was the historical and cultural capital of the province. It is also the site of Yamashita's surrender in 1945 and hosts the Cordilleras branch of the National Museum of the Philippines.
