"In the province of Samar, locals never rejoice or enjoy a conversation about Biringan City. These words invoke goosebumps, three knocks on wood, and numerous sign of the cross. But why such place gives this kind of impression to the people?
Biringan City is a mythical city that is located somewhere between Gandara, Tarangnan, and Pangsanghan in Northern Samar, Philippines. The place is known to exude a different kind of brilliance and magnificence. We usually associate supernatural places with modernized palaces and or fortresses.

"Dubbed as the Wakanda of the Philippines, Biringan City is a mythical place filled with towering spires and cathedral-like buildings that rises from the waters up to the clouds. It is described as a very technologically-advanced metropolis where everything is jet-black, sleek, and ultramodern. Sometimes also referred to as Araw (sun) City—due to its perceived brightness or the never-ending twilight within its borders—it is said to be inhabited by unearthly beautiful and tall white beings."

"Those who have seen Biringan have compared it to the likes of New York or Hong Kong. However, instead of skyscrapers, it has massive cathedral type buildings with an elegance that has yet to be produced with modern architecture. Some of the visual accounts differ, but there is one similarity between them all – those drawn to the city were lured through a trance or feeling possessed."

Few people claimed to have seen and visited the invisible city. Their accounts are so convincing and consistent that it has sparked the imagination of explorers and artists from all over the world.
