About About the place

Guilin Butterfly Spring is an underground cave attraction near Yangshuo, China, known for its butterfly-shaped stalactites and colorful, artificial lighting. While the exterior features a large butterfly sculpture, the cave itself is often described as heavily modified and lacking in natural beauty. Visitors can explore the cave, enjoy a viewpoint, and descend via a slide. Numerous shops surround the attraction, and it's frequently visited as part of a larger tour of the area, including nearby Moon Hill and Silver Cave.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

It is a good old traditional place which is also quite famous. Do pay your visit to check out the historic story behind it and its fascinating facts. The place is massive and it might take a long time to check out the whole thing, so you better wear comfortable clothes.
