Butterfly Cave

Domestic tourists are attracted to this site because the name relates to an old Chinese tale. Most foreign visitors give it a miss as the huge butterfly outside looks kitsch rather than cool.

That said, there is a butterfly enclosure inside, which is nice to see if you if you like butterflies, and which is particularly suitable for younger children.

Consider stopping by on your way to another site (Moon Hill, Silver Cave etc.) especially if the weather is wet. This site has the huge advantage of being mostly covered over.
