Bangui Wind Mills


The Bangui Wind Mills were built by the North Wind Power Development Corporation to take its share in reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) causing global warming and to accelerate the rural electrification of the government. It is located in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. To optimize the full benefit of the winds, turbines are installed along the shore facing the sea effectively removing wind breaks.

One of the gigantic white wind mills, perfect contrast with the blue sky.
Bangui Wind Mills is our most favorite destination in Ilocos Norte during our trip. Looking at these windmills at far made us say “WOW.” We can't believe our eyes seeing these 23 storey high windmills along the 3km Bangui Bay. We were so amazed by these 20 enormously beautiful structures at far and even up close. When we stepped on the beach where these windmills are located, we can't help but stare in disbelief, when up close you can hear the blades' sound whistling through the wind , it was a breath taking view of one of the wonders of Ilocos.




They are so beautiful and we can't help ourselves but to shoot with awe and jump for joy! :) 

Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I can hold this in two hands
 But I can hold it with only one hand. hahaha!















Bangui Wind Mills - a one worth site, a one worth stop in the North Luzon island! :D
