Named after one of the richest sugar scions in the island, it is presently known as the “Little Baguio of the South” because of its cool temperature that make the person who visits there shivers especially if you reach areas on higher altitude.

DSB has a lot to offer to the tourist who visits there place:
1. The opportunity to watch the creativity of the DSBhanon in their yearly festival the Kali-kaili. Kali-kali according to the municipal website is a clebration of their harvesting time. It was sought to have originated in the term “kali” a.k.a Arnis or Eskrima, a filipino martial art that which also assumed to originate in the Negros Island.
2. As a summer place DSB can statisfy your eyes because of the spots that he has to offer to you. The Malatan-og Falls, the Lion View at the top of the winding road, resorts and stuff.

3. The super yummy pineapple.

One thing you should not forget to try when you are there is tasting their sweet pinya, It is so yummy that once you tasted it you will always want it.

4. Calling all sports enthusiast.Why should I forget about you? I myself wants to do some sports there! It is a place where you can have a mountain climbing. DSB is connected by the two mountain ranges the Mandalagan and Kanlaon. All levels are present if you are a beginner then I recommend you to lurk at the place. For the professional climbers I guess you will have fun in that area.
If Pacquiao has its Killer Run in Hollywood,DSB is offering you it also. Well it is not that you will be hit by the truck or a bus line but its the endurance that you will have after running a long and winding road plus the cool weather together with the inclined mountain. Want to be USain Bolt better run those & 7km from Padanon to the Banwa.
If your a motorsports enthusiast just be careful. A cyclist? of course you have your place there! You wan to win the Tour de France? You better start practing there.Oh don’t forget who recommended it to you…

5. For those who are seeking for inner peace.
City life gives us unrest because we have to struggle everyday to fill our tables. If for a time you are lloking for a place to relax.
