Shaded under tall trees, the fountain is a square pond of some 20 metres in circumference. On the western wall of the pond is an inscription of”HUDIE QUAN” (Butterfly Spring) written by Guo Moruo. An old “butterfly tree” (accacia) spreads its boughs over the pond. In late spring and early summer, when flowers of all kinds are blooming, the tree puts forth fragrant white and yellow flowers, attracting thousands of real butterflies to gather on its leaves. Some hundred species of butterflies, different in size and colour, flutter around. Some of them, black and white in colour, can be as large as a palm. Some of them are in the size of a coin, having a bright golden colour. Some others are silvery, pink or light green.
