HANGING BRIDGE
This
horizontal structure joins barangay Bato and Poblacion and extends from the
back part of the Mabinay Nat’l High School forest. It is around 60 meters long,
built so people from both barangays can easy cross Namangyan River, saving
their fare for a motorcycle ride as they go to Poblacion or vice versa for some
transactions or simply to purchase their family needs in the market. At the
same time, passers may enjoy the view on top as the bridge swings up or
sideways as one walks through it. It has
a simple, yet, captivating structure. This was first devised by the earliest Mabinayons
and was able to withstand winds and other environmental stresses for years.

NATURAL SPRING
This natural bounty
is located at Tadlong, Mabinay Negros Oriental. It is situated near the Mabinay
Central School and Taring’s Cottages in Poblacion. This resembles a giant
swimming pool, boasting with its crystal-clear and icy-cool waters. Its natural
habitat remained untouched for centuries. Local folks consider this as their
greatest treasure, a gift from nature, with its unlimited water supply even on
a long dry spell. It’s a very typical hideaway for nature lovers, campers and
motorists to drive thru, taking a stretch from a long drive, under shades of
towering centuries old native trees, sprawling the perimeters of this natural
spring.
