Guihulngan City, nestled along the northeastern coast of Negros Oriental, is a hidden coastal treasure waiting to be discovered by curious travelers.
Overlooking the Tañon Strait, this charming city offers an authentic provincial experience, far from the crowds yet rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.
Guihulngan is best known for its mythical tales, tranquil seascapes, and laid-back ambiance.
One of its most unique cultural landmarks is the Cara-Bell, a statue combining a carabao and a church bell—an homage to a local legend that gives the city its name. Along its coastline, you’ll find picturesque views and access to pristine waters ideal for peaceful strolls or boat rides.
Nature lovers can visit the Hinakpan Hills, often dubbed the "Chocolate Hills of Negros," offering surreal landscapes for hikers and photographers. The Mahayag Hot Spring and nearby waterfalls, like Bulwangan Falls, provide rejuvenating retreats perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring.
With its mix of folklore, quiet coastal charm, and off-the-beaten-path adventures, Guihulngan City is a refreshing alternative to more tourist-heavy destinations like Dumaguete or Siquijor.
