Butterfly Spring Park is located a few kilometers out of Yangshuo, occupying an area of 36,000 square meters. It is named after a butterfly-like stalactite found in a grotto of this beautiful park. As a locale which brings together both a unique landscape and a rural setting, it is a typical representative of ecotourism sites in Yangshuo.

At the entrance to the Butterfly Spring Park there is a huge vivid Monarch Butterfly model mounted on a cliff beside the gate. He Jingzhi, a famous poet in China, visited here and was so impressed by the huge butterfly model that he wrote an inscription titled the No.1 Butterfly under the Heaven to praise it.

In the park's 400-meter-long Butterfly Grotto, spring water oozes from the sandy layer in the rock every day and forms a pool. This is the Butterfly Spring. The grotto holds many stalactites with varieties of shapes. Amongst them, there are some which look like butterflies and are absolutely lifelike.

This park is the largest area in China for viewing thousands of live butterflies. Visitors can see the colorful butterflies flying leisurely among the bushes. In the Parks Butterfly Exhibition Hall there are thousands of specimens of about 300 butterfly varieties with unique styles on display. Visitors can see some valuable butterflies here such as the nymphalid and papilio. The papilio is the most beautiful one and is commonly called the queen of butterflies.

In the Butterfly Spring Park there are many other points of interest such as the Waterfall on Butterfly Hill, the Butterfly Bridge, the Honeybee Garden and the unique Original Hanging Bridge of Yangshuo. Additionally, the peculiar Karst landscape offers an ideal place for rock climbing and includes a professional rock climbing line as long as 25 meters. Visitors can enjoy watching this breathtaking and exciting activity after visiting the butterflies and the spring.
