Shangrila in the city

Only 30 minutes away from the Bacolod Government Center, you feel you are transformed into a magical breath taking secluded greenery of shangrila.  The spring water which flows freely unto a small tiled pool.  The scent of green grass, the cook waft of breeze on your skin.  One wonders if you are on the mountainside.  And, yes!  It is still within the boundary within Bacolod City.
