Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
The straight-line distance from Polillo Island to San Fernando is about 300 kilometers, which is more than enough for the AW139 helicopter. And if you take a helicopter, you can reach San Fernando in a maximum of one and a half hours, but if you take this fishing boat, it is nearly 500 nautical miles away, which takes about 30 hours.
Yang Jing really wasn't in the mood to wait that long, because the next three locations were all in the northern part of Luzon Island, two of which were located in the city, and the other one was located in the mountains.
If Yang Jing had not encountered this series of natural disasters, he might still have the mood to drive his yacht on the sea, but now, after seeing so much death and destruction, he really has no mood to do so.
In addition to the two pilot seats, the AW139 helicopter also has 15 seats in the cabin, which means it can accommodate 17 people. Yang Jing and his group have exactly 16 people, including the original pilot of the helicopter, which makes a total of 17 people, and they can all be taken to San Fernando at once.
The Philippines is a very strange country. Although the people in this country are all Asian, most of the names of people and places have a strong Spanish style. It seems that the country was ruled by Spain for hundreds of years and it was not in vain.
However, given the Spanish naming style, place names are a bit poor, so in the Philippines, there are many places with the same name. Sometimes a place name can be used in many places, such as the name of a city, the name of a bay, or the name of a valley...
Just like San Fernando where Yang Jing and his friends went, there are two most famous places in the Philippines, and these two places are the capital cities of the Philippine provinces.
There is a province called La Union in the northwest of Luzon Island. The capital of this province is called San Fernando. In the central part of Luzon Island, northwest of Manila, there is another province called Pampanga. The capital of this province is also called San Fernando......
Therefore, when many Filipinos want to go to one of the San Fernandos, they must specify that they are going to San Fernando in that province, otherwise, whether it is a car or a train, it will easily take you to the wrong place.
The San Fernando that Yang Jing and his team were going to was the port city of San Fernando further north. This city has a long history, with the Central Cordillera Mountains to the east, the South China Sea to the west, and Lingayen Gulf to the south.
Of the three remaining hiding places, this one in San Fernando is the southernmost one, with the other two hiding places further north.
The specific coordinates of this hidden location in San Fernando are 16.6 degrees north latitude and 120.3 degrees east longitude. If you look at it from a satellite map, this location happens to be an old Catholic church located in the old town not far from the port.
The history of San Fernando can be traced back to the time when the Spanish colonized the Philippines. At that time, this city surrounded by mountains and the sea had already taken shape. Later, the Americans drove away the Spaniards and became the emperor of the Philippines. They also built a port in this city, making it a port city.
Later, the Japanese drove the Americans out of the Philippines and occupied the country. This port city naturally became an important port for the Japanese to transport resources looted from Southeast Asian countries to Japan.
This city can be said to be the most important and largest port in northern Luzon Island. A large amount of materials are transferred through this port every year.
However, although the city now covers a large area, it was not large during the Spanish rule. The city at that time only covered a small area near the port, which is what the locals call the old city or the Catabangen area.
The Catholic church where the sixth hidden location is located is located to the west of Katabangen.
Under the joint control of Chris and the pilot, the helicopter reached San Fernando in just one and a half hours. Because it is far away from Catanduanes Island and there is a huge Luzon Island in between, it was not affected by the tsunami. It only suffered some damage when Super Typhoon Hagupit passed through.
When Yang Jing and his team arrived here, they could still see traces of the storm on the street. Some green trees had been uprooted and were still lying on the street, and no one had time to clean them up.
The hotel Yang Jing and his friends booked was not in Katabangen, but in the new town in the north. Although Katabangen has a long history, most of the houses here are very old, and there are few modern buildings. There are only a few luxury hotels in the new town a few kilometers away. Fortunately, the transportation in the city is very convenient, and it is also easy to rent a car after settling down, so you can visit the old church at any time.
After settling down, Yang Jing gave the helicopter pilot some money and let him go around for fun. His helicopter was directly taken over by Chris and Bruno. The pilot understood that these two pilots were better than him in driving, and he could also get an extra reward. Of course, he was happy to do so, so he happily accepted the money, rented a car and started to drive around.
Morris rented four Mitsubishi Pajeros, so he had both flying and running vehicles and could travel in any way he wanted.
After dinner, everyone had a good rest. Early the next morning, Yang Jing drove a group of people to Katabangen, south of the hotel, ready to take a closer look at this ancient Catholic church.
