Linxia Butterfly House

　　    Located at the western end of Qianheyan Road in Linxia City, Gansu Province, it was a residence built by Ma Bufang for his fourth concubine, Zhang Xiaoying. The entire construction took five years and was completed in 1943. Currently, only the main courtyard of the Butterfly House remains. The building is 56 meters wide from east to west and 74 meters long from north to south, with a construction area of 2,660 square meters, covering a site area of 500 acres. Its main structure features a central building on the north side as the butterfly’s body, spanning seven bays with a hip-and-gable roof and overhanging eaves. The connected rooms on both sides curve semi-circularly like butterfly wings, while the left and right corridors connect with a rectangular hexagonal pavilion-like structure forming the butterfly’s feet. From a distance, it resembles a butterfly with its wings spread, hence the name "Butterfly House."
