The Butterfly Spring

When traveling to Dali, there is one place you can not help but visit, and that is the famous Butterfly Spring Park, which is like a crystal clear gem embedded in thousands of green shades. With the spread of the film "Five Golden Flowers," which reflects the cultural life of the Bai people, the bizarre natural landscape of Butterfly Spring is even more famous at home and abroad.

The beautiful butterfly spring is a place where people can relieve the burden of the soul and make people dream. The water of Butterfly Spring is the melted snow water from Yunnong Peak of Cangshan Mountain, which soaks from the cracked sand layer. The water quality is particularly clean. Albizia trees grow by the spring. When it blooms in early April, the petals open like butterflies during the day, and the petals close together at night to exude a burst of tangy fragrance.

Every year in March and April of the lunar calendar, a variety of exotic flowers and grasses bloom in the mountains. The unique aromatic tree species such as Albizia and Pistacia by the spring exude an elegant fragrance, attracting thousands of butterflies to fly from all directions. Come, gather, and dance around the spring.

These butterflies are as big as a palm and as small as a copper coin. They dance among the gorgeous camellia, rhododendrons, and other flowers and grass or frolic on the heads of visitors with blooming branches. There are countless colorful butterflies on the albizia tree, which only hook each other. The feet, linked end to end, form a long string hanging on the surface of the water. Under the sunshine of spring, they are colorful and colorful, quite magnificent. 

April 15th is designated by the Bai people as the "Butterfly Meeting" every year. In the case of fine weather, it will be an unprecedented event. Not only the number of butterflies is large, but there are also many species. During the butterfly festival, flowers and butterflies dance together, and the butterflies and flowers are gorgeous. The poet vividly praised butterflies as "flying flowers" and flowers as "still butterflies." It can be said to be true and false, and it is a great wonder of Butterfly Spring.

Butterfly Spring is not always the wonder of butterflies flying. If you miss the butterfly fair by accident, do not regret it. The newly built butterfly pavilion south of the butterfly spring truly reproduces the ecology, species, and butterfly culture related to butterflies at the butterfly spring and is provided for tourists who cannot visit the butterfly fair, to understand the precious information about the wonders of Butterfly Spring.

 

In recent years, the spring water rushing from the Butterfly Spring has been cherished by the park managers and has accumulated three large pools, each of which is as clear as a mirror, adding a beautiful landscape to the Butterfly Spring Park.

It is a pity: In the past decade or so, it has been difficult for people to see the beautiful butterfly event. Although sometimes there are butterflies gathered, the number is not as good as before. It can not help but sigh. 

The reason: the main reason is the destruction of the surrounding natural environment, the extensive use of pesticides in the fields, accidentally injuring many butterflies, and the spectacle that even the hooks and feet hang over the spring has been long gone. It seems that only by earnestly studying the laws of butterfly growth, strengthening the protection of the natural environment, and striving to maintain ecological balance can the fascinating butterfly event be restored and flourished.
