Why these tags

Mountains

From the sources

“The municipality lies on the northern slopes of the long dormant volcano Mount Makiling and is known among tourists for its hot spring resorts.”

“Some sites associated with the trek are Flatrocks (river cascade), Mudspring (often mistaken as volcanic crater of Mt. Makiling) nominal admission fee.”

Hot springs

From the sources

“The town of Los Baños derives its name from the thermal baths found within its territory.”

“Both the mountain and the lake are volcanic features – Makiling being a potentially active volcano whose geothermal activities gave birth to the hot springs after which the town was named, and Laguna de Bay being the filled-in caldera of a massive prehistoric volcano.”

Food

From the sources

“The town is also home to several native delicacies stores like the town's famous buko pie (coconut meat pie) as well as a home-grown brand of chocolate cake.”

Heritage

From the sources

“Immaculate Conception Parish Church is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the municipality of Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.

Inland town, no sea vibes.

Percentages are the model's confidence in what the Wikipedia and Wikivoyage text says (for sea vibes, also the town's Commons photo titles), not a measurement. "Not enough info" means too little was written to say.
