Mount Sungay, Mountain summit in Tagaytay, Philippines.
Mount Sungay rises to 709 meters above sea level as the highest point in Cavite province, forming part of the Tagaytay Ridge system.
The mountain's sharp peak functioned as a navigation reference point for ships entering Manila Bay during early maritime expeditions in the Philippine archipelago.
The name Sungay originates from the Tagalog word meaning horns, reflecting the mountain's original rock formations that resembled pointed protrusions from its peak.
Visitors can reach the mountain summit through a narrow road leading to a parking area, followed by a 300-meter hiking trail or jeepney ride.
The mountain houses the former Palace in the Sky, constructed in 1979, which transformed into People's Park offering views of Taal Lake, Manila Bay, and surrounding peaks.
