About the Yellow Butterfly Valley
The Yellow Butterfly Valley is part of the upper reaches of the Gaopingxi River and was once one of Taiwan’s important bird habitats. The environment in the valley provides ample food and growth space for the larvae of yellow butterflies and meets the needs of adults and every stage of their life cycle. As a result, a large number of pale yellow butterflies appear in the valley every year. The best time to observe the pale yellow butterflies is from May to July each year, and the period around the Dragon Boat Festival is particularly spectacular. If you miss the butterfly season, don’t be disappointed. The valley also has a rich stream and bird ecology. The endangered Crested Serpent Eagle and the rare Pitta are often seen here. The abundant ecological resources of the Yellow Butterfly Valley will surprise you at every turn.
Opening Hours
The valley is open all year round, 24/7. Specific business hours are subject to the daily opening status.
