Davao is a bustling metropolis in the heart of southern Mindanao, one of the biggest islands in the Philippines. It is a sprawling city and notably one of the biggest in the world in terms of land area with more than 2,400 square kilometres. It has been dubbed as the "Gateway of Mindanao", being its status as unofficial capital of Mindanao and also as a good hub for travellers wanting to explore the region. Here are some of the amazing things you can see and do in Davao:
1. Pearl Farm Beach Resort - If you seek sand and sea in Davao, then this is the perfect destination. It is located in Samal, a group of islands just 45 minutes from Davao by banca (outrigger boat). This resort was once a pearl farm, where thousands of white-lipped oysters where cultivated for their white, pink and gold pearls. This 11 hectare spread now opens its doors to guests as a relaxing resort. The resort has very tranquil surroundings and it's a haven if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
2. The Philippine Eagle Center - The home of 32 Philippine Eagles, 16 of which are captive bred. The centre is dedicated to saving the endangered Philippine eagle or more popularly known as the monkey eating eagle because of its diet. Sadly, there are about 100 to 300 of these majestic birds left in the wild and the centre has done extremely well with its captive-breeding programme and has so far managed to hatch 14 eaglets. The centre is also famous for housing a magnificent collection of plants, ones that you would typically find in a tropical rain forest.

3. Kadayawan - The word "dayaw" can be loosely translated as something good, beautiful or valuable. Thus, the Kadayawan is Davao's celebration of life, culture and the bounties of harvest. It is an annual fiesta, held every third week of August, and is a mardi-gras like festivity of street dancing and celebration where the indigenous tribes' dances and songs are performed and showcased.
4. Handicrafts - There is a lot of cultural diversity in Davao. Because of this, it is a great source of tribal handicrafts produced by the ethnic tribes that still call the city as its home - the Bagobo, Manobo, Mandaya, T'boli, Mansaka and B'laan tribes. The handicrafts are easily available throughout the city, although the Aldevinco Centre in CM Recto Avenue is a good collection of stores specializing in exotic fabrics, trinkets and antiques.
5. Durian - Davao is a major producer of tropical fruits in the Philippines, the most famous of which is the durian. This fruit, with its distinctive green thorn-covered husk is so notoriously pungent that it has been banned inside aircraft as carry on luggage. The durian smell is a great talking point among locals and tourists alike. Some think the strong odour is quite pleasant while others would think it's too overpowering. If you can get past the smell, the creamy white flesh is sweet and is likened by many as similar to custard or almonds.
