NEGROS
OCCIDENTAL / BACOLOD
TRAVEL TIPS & GENERAL INFORMATION
|
| A
Glimpse Of Negros Occidental
|
| The
coastline of Negros Occidental
is more irregular than that of
its sister province, Negros Oriental.
The northern and western parts
are largely level plains and gently
rolling slopes while the remaining
portion is particularly a land
of sierras of varying elevations.
Mt. Kanlaon, which rises to an
elevation of about 8,100 feet,
is the highest peak in the province,
and is considered also be the
highest in central Philippines.
Other mountains are Mt. Mandalagan
and Mt. Silay. |
| Across
the Guimaras Strait from Iloilo
is Negros Occidental, sugar capital
of the Philippines. Bacolod, the
province's capital city has three
challenging golf courses, making
it the golfing center in the Visayas.
|
Convention
facilities are also available
with the opening of the Bacolod
Convention Plaza. And in October,
the smiles of the people of Bacolod
widen during the Masskara Festival.
Masskara, meaning "many faces"
was conceived to boost the local
people's morale during the height
of an economic depression which
hit the province in 1980.0
