Butterfly Valley, located in Yanping Township, was named for its once-abundant butterfly population. However, due to human activity, the sight of butterflies filling the valley has faded. In recent years, local residents have focused on ecological conservation and planted plants such as Aristolochia to aid in ecological restoration. These host and nectar plants provide an excellent environment for butterfly rehabilitation, making it a perfect spot for butterfly watching and relaxation.
