Butterfly Spring in Dali, Yunnan | The movie 'Five Golden Flowers', Xu Xiake's Travel Notes, Butterfly Museum
Butterfly Spring is located one kilometer north of Zhou City, Dali, on the west side of the Yunnan-Tibet Highway, under the first peak of Cangshan Mountain, Yunlong Peak. The classic movie 'Five Golden Flowers', the song by the Butterfly Spring: 'Dali has good scenery in March, and it's good to dress up by the Butterfly Spring' left us a deep impression. The Butterfly Spring is where Apeng and Jinhua meet.
Butterfly Spring is like a transparent gem, embedded in the green shade, attracting tourists from far and near with its unique spectacle.
The spring pool is two to three zhang square, and the surrounding is built with transparent marble railings. The spring water is clear and bottomless, and a string of silver bubbles slowly emerge from the sandstone.
Every year from April to May in the lunar calendar, all kinds of strange flowers and plants on Yunlong Peak bloom one after another, and the Albizia trees by the Butterfly Spring emit a light and elegant fragrance, attracting thousands of butterflies to gather. These butterflies are as big as palms and as small as bees, fluttering among colorful camellias, azaleas and other flowers and plants.
The most peculiar thing is that the butterflies are hooked from the tree branches, connected in strings, and hang several meters to the water surface. Tourists who see this magnificent scene are all amazed. Xu Xiake vividly recorded this beautiful scene in his travel notes.
During the butterfly festival, Bai young men and women from Dali, Erhai and other places wear Bai costumes and gather by the Butterfly Spring to sing and dance, adding a touch of ethnic style to the Butterfly Spring. Apeng and Jinhua met at this time.
The Butterfly Museum, Lover's Lake, Makeup Pond, Sea-viewing Pavilion, Stone Archway, Heart Knot Corridor, Butterfly World, and ethnic performances are all attractions within the Butterfly Spring. The thousands of colorful butterfly specimens in the Butterfly Museum take you into the magical world of butterflies.
The formation of Butterfly Spring is related to the environmental conditions in this area. The spring is backed by Cangshan Mountain to the west and Erhai Lake to the east. Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake not only provide a 'silver Cang and jade Er' viewing scenery for humans, but also constitute a natural environment for the large-scale reproduction and growth of insects such as butterflies.

It is the third time I have gone to Butterfly Spring to play. This time there are very few people. It is recommended to go in the afternoon and there are fewer tour groups. Fortunately, there are still butterflies in Butterfly Spring and I have seen several. Be sure to watch the performance on the lake. After the performance, the Badger will stop on the shore and you can watch it up close. As for the butterfly hall, everyone buys tickets according to their needs. The butterfly hall is quite large and the content is very rich.
The Butterfly Spring is famous for its five golden flowers. The middle-aged and elderly people like us still want to see it. Remember to go far to the scenic spot. Now it is better to repair it. The scenic environment is very good. The climate in Dali is unique. God’s darling, my mother is in the Butterfly Spring. I have been there and went.
The scenic spot is not big, it belongs to a beautiful legend, because the playability is not high, and it is generally to punch in. The staff service is very warm. The scenic sightseeing car is selected according to needs, suitable for people who are old and infirm and have limited mobility. The machine that exchanged coins by the butterfly spring is broken, cannot be used, and needs repair!
Old attractions, I have been with the tour group many years ago, but it is a horse and flower view, no feeling. This Valentine's Day and my lover are leisurely and free, slowly experience, participate in the interaction of the song in the scenic spot, and also wear Bai costumes to take pictures, I feel very good
The scenery of Butterfly Spring is beautiful. There are butterflies in the big world to see the breeding process of living butterflies and various butterfly specimens. At the same time, the reflection of a clear water is also very beautiful, it is worth seeing.
