Attractions

Bangui is well known because of its Bangui Wind Farm, which is the town's main attraction. Although the Burgos and Caparispisan (Pagudpud) Windmills were built in 2013, many visitors still visit Bangui Windmills. Bangui Bay is also a tourist spot, yet not practical for swimming because of its deepness and water currents, but it is beautiful to view. There is also Abang Falls that can be found in Brgy.Lanao, also a tourist spot. Bangui is also good for its beautiful view of mountains and rivers.
