Located in the essence tourism area of "Ten-mile Painting Gallery" in Moon Hill Scenic Area in Yangshuo, Guilin, beside the National Highway 321, only 3 kilometers away from the county town, Butterfly Spring is a newly emerged brilliant pearl in the Greater Guilin Tourism Circle. It covers an area of 36,000 square meters and is named after the Butterfly Spring. Inside are tourist attractions such as Butterfly Cave, Butterfly Mountain Waterfall, Butterfly Bridge, Butterfly Mountain, Butterfly Edges, and Butterfly Hall. Among them, the "Butterfly Edges" covering an area of 3,800 square meters (currently the largest butterfly appreciation garden in China), where thousands of butterflies of more than a thousand kinds live harmoniously with people, friendly and natural.
After bypassing the Butterfly Mountain plank road and entering the secluded Butterfly Mountain Stone Forest through the Butterfly Bridge, you can see the poetic and picturesque Horn Hill (Yangshuo got its name from this) and the farmland scenery known as the Little Li River - Yulong River right before your eyes; especially the Emperor Butterfly inscribed by the famous contemporary poet He Jingzhi as the "First Butterfly in the World", which is about 280 square meters in size, is a rare sight in the world.
The Butterfly Spring Scenic Area not only effectively integrates natural landscape, history and culture, mountain climbing for health care, popular science and leisure vacation into one ecological tourist attraction, but also integrates strange mountains, beautiful water, and farmland scenery into one, making it a typical representative of Yangshuo's mountains and rivers.
