Butterfly Spring Scenic Area


Butterfly Spring Scenic Area is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and is known for the old movie “Five Golden Flowers”. It is a square spring pool with clear spring water in beautiful colors. It is quite interesting to come on weekdays and see the dozens of species of butterflies that breed in the Butterfly World.

The highlight of the Butterfly Spring Scenic Area is the spring itself, which is crystal clear and rich in ions that give the water a fantastic blue-green color, with strings of silvery bubbles gushing out from time to time. The spring is surrounded by large, twisting trees reflecting in the water, which is very beautiful.
