The City that could eventually capture your deepest heart, a luxurious City—blessed with abundant crops, magnificent falls and lakes and a panoramic sight of hills and mountains. Some of which that will absolutely trigger your greatest admiration.
Once you set your foot on its solid ground, one can't resist the desire to roam around its charming premise.
From one of the largest municipality in Negros Oriental, Guihulngan became a City on February 15, 2011. It has a vast population of 93,675 people with 33 barangays. The City has several versions on how it accordingly got its name. Based on tales, it happens as a river flows directly to the town from a spring, thus, the word "GUIPADULNGAN" existed, which barely means the point where the river flows to an end. To some accounts, the town underwent a turbulent history where the Moros beheaded some of the natives and threw their bodies into the sea. As a consequence, the moros dropped a bell into the sea when they found out that it was used as the lookout warn– it was then that they called the place "GUINHULUGAN" (place where something was dropped) but later it became commonly written and called as GUIHULNGAN.
There were a lot of must-see and must witness in the entire City, such as the colourful Cara Bell festival every 24th day of May, the breathtaking Hinakpan Chocolate Hills and Razor Back Mountain, the alluring waters (Tinayunan Beach, Sunrise View Beach Resort,McKinley, Bo Lico bay, Lake Mantohod, Kinayan falls), and most of all their proud Pandan and Abaca basketry. The City is also rich in copra, sugarcane, rice, corn, tobacco and soybeans.
Hostel Negros Oriental (House-Hotel) and Ancestral Inn-Negros can surely give you a good accommodation and service.
If you want to have a sweet escape from the hustle of the everyday life, GUIHULNGAN is a place to be.
