With lush fields, crisp mountain air, and a climate that’s just the ticket for strawberry cultivation, it’s a place where farming dreams don’t just sprout, they flourish. With strawberry, pineapple farms to a bird and wildlife sanctuary, staying at the Sanctuary Song will be an experience of a lifetime. The village is adorned with scenic trails, peaceful nature walks, and strawberry plantation that captivates the senses. Local villagers are always eager to welcome visitors and share heartfelt stories of the simple mountain way of life. Guests can immerse themselves in music, reading, indoor games, or other creative pursuits, all while the cool, clear mountain breeze gently rejuvenates both body and soul.
