See the Panoramic View of Manila Skyline via Cloud 9 in Antipolo

It could have been another ordinary day for me if not for our struggle to have a day off from stress. Yes, it is away from Batangas just to have a breather. Along with my office mates, we decided to go to Rizal to visit a friend and spend a quality side trip.

From a friend's advice, we set our feet in an unfamiliar place. It is within Antipolo City but it was like a new way for tourists to enjoy some scenic view. And we were surprised that we were about to have a unique panoramic view of Metro Manila and Rizal via Cloud9 Sports and Leisure Club.

The 360 view may be easy to see through the restaurant's deck but we opted to pay PhP 50.00 for a thrilling walk in a hanging bridge there.

I am the only one who was excited for the walk. My companions were afraid that the bridge may fall down. The cold breeze added the chilling effect. The few minutes spend up there were amazing as you can breathe fresh air and get mesmerized by the view of nature among buildings.

And when we reached the platform, the sun was smiling at us as if congratulating us for walking bravely to meet him up there.

After a few minutes, we went downstairs to explore the whole area. The stairs have also some stories to tell. Local artists decorated every floor so the tourists will not only go there for the panoramic view but also an aesthetic or artistic one.

At the ground floor, you can channel your emo self since it is surrounded with beautiful pieces of decor that are hard to resist while taking photos.

And if you went out, this bridge filled with vines . While walking, you can have both the sight of nature and city side of Rizal.

And we eventually found out that the place is called 7th heaven.

The sun was about to bid goodbye so we hurried towards the restaurant for the beautiful sunset view.

On our way, we saw a mini museum depicting a piece of Philippine history.

You can also dine with history and arts in their restaurants. The menu here is filled with delicacies served during the inauguration of Malolos Republic.

We were able to see the beautiful sunset plus the Manila skyline.

This will make you appreciate that every sunset is a chance to reset. From that moment, I inhaled good vibes and exhaled all my negativity.

Thank you to Ate Rose and Sir Jhong for letting us see this part of Rizal.

We dined at a near Japanese Restaurant where you can also enjoy the Manila Skyline.

And before we left Rizal to head back home, Sir Jhong gave us souvenirs or pasalubong from Aling Kika's Food Products. The rice cakes or kakanin are tasty that you will find it hard to avoid eating.

So aside from Batangas, I really enjoyed even a few hours of stay in Rizal Province. I have still loyalty to my home but you can also experience this if you want a quick yet productive out of town getaway.
