Vayang Rolling Hills
Rolling green hills along the northern coast of Basco, dotted with grazing cattle, where grassy slopes drop to blue sea cliffs in scenery reminiscent of Scotland.
Vayang Rolling Hills lie on the northwest coast of Batan Island. The road winds along green ridgelines, with lush slopes and stone-walled pastures on one side and steep sea cliffs above the deep blue Bashi Channel on the other. Mount Iraya is visible in the distance. This is the best-known example of Batanes' 'Scottish landscape'. From Basco it takes about 20 minutes by bicycle or tricycle. Stop often along the road to take photos, and visit in the evening for the best light. When the wind is strong, keep well back from the cliff edge, and don't approach or disturb the cattle on the grassland.
