The Bangui Windmills. Most Pinoys do not know that the
largest Wind Farm in operation in
South East Asia is located in the
Philippines, up to this date. The title will soon be relinquish to the planned construction of a larger similar wind farm in
Thailand, but the title of being the first of its kind in
South East Asia can never be removed.
The
Bangui Windmills are located in
Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte. The place is about 1 1/2 hours from
Laoag City towards
Pagudpud, the
Patapat Viaduct or to
Appari, Cagayan. About 4 to 5 kilometers or 5 to 8 minutes drive from the town of
Burgos there is a directional marker to turn left on a dirt road, this will lead you downwards to
Bangui Bay, to the wind farms.
If you miss the first turn, for about 3 kilometers or about 2 to 3 minutes drive ahead there is an view deck before the
Marhalika Highway descends to a zigzag road towards
Baruyen Bridge.
Now if you really want to proceed to
Bangui Bay for a close look of the
Windmills there is another directional marker to turn left towards the
Wind Farm before you cross the
Baruyen Bridge.
The photos that I had was not as good as it should be because there was a little drizzle at that time and I hope to go back soon for a better close view.
