The changes of the four seasons bring brilliant colors, wind, frost, rain and snow, making people feel the unpredictable nature.

As the province with the most unique topography and climate distribution in China, Yunnan spans three climatic zones: tropical, subtropical and alpine cold temperate zones. The landforms cover many types of dams, river valleys, glaciers, and basins, and the complete types are eye-opening.

If you understand Yunnan carefully, you will find that it is a treasure place. Everyone from ordinary people to botanists, photographers, and food tasters will fall in love with it.

If you know Yunnan deeply, you will know why COP15 was chosen in Yunnan.

Each of Yunnan's 16 prefectures and cities has its own unique label. Xishuangbanna's rainforest, Kunming's spring-like climate all year round, Chuxiong's Yi culture, Dali's flowers and snow, Tengchong's thousand-year-old Han culture, Lijiang's intangible cultural heritage, Shangri-La's Tibetan customs, each is Yunnan's external business card.

Dali is among the top three in Yunnan's external business cards. It can be said that it fully represents Yunnan's diverse ethnic minority culture and natural environment to a large extent.

Before this, Dali has been described countless times, its folk culture, its long history, and its many natural attractions. However, every scene and object in Dali are like inexhaustible. The "energy" continues to surprise us again, and even if it has been written, it is still worth writing again.

Butterfly Spring in Dali, my fathers 'deepest impression of Dali was that its film and television works were also butterfly wonders. Our impression of it was the origin of the story of "Bai Liang Zhu".

Time has changed, and it is still a sign in Dali tourist attractions. No matter how the surrounding buildings change, the layout and scenery of Butterfly Spring remain unchanged.

Butterfly Spring was originally known as "Bottless Pond". Because of a crystal clear spring pool, the natural wonders next to it, and a long-lasting love story, the three reasons are combined to give it a resounding name-Butterfly Spring.

My first impression of Butterfly Spring lies in my fantasy. I imagine it is surrounded by mountains and water, trees cover the sky and the sun, singing is floating at will, and people who come to play dance around colorful butterflies.

When I first visited Butterfly Spring, I found that it was not much different from the Butterfly Spring in my fantasy except for the large number of flying butterflies.

Everyone's fantasies and first impressions of Butterfly Spring are different. Some people imagine and encounter Butterfly Spring in spring, some imagine and encounter Butterfly Spring in summer, and others imagine and encounter Butterfly Spring in autumn and winter.

Butterfly Spring is very outstanding in all seasons. There are endless streams, exotic flowers and grasses are in full bloom, and the trees are evergreen.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are unchanged but have subtle differences. Let's walk into the "Four Seasons of Butterfly Spring" and discover these subtle differences.

Spring in Butterfly Spring: Spring warms the earth and is colorful

Butterfly Spring in spring is sleepy. It has just woken up from a deep sleep. At this time, Butterfly Spring is a little lazy and confused. If it is combined with the warm spring sun that is neither arrogant nor impetuous, everything here seems to be able to lure people into the sweet dream again.

Spring in Butterfly Spring is a flower display garden. Unknown flowers and cherry blossoms are all in full bloom. There is no strong aroma, only dazzling colors.

Pink cherry blossoms and purple daisies bloom along the trails and Valentine's Lake, and low wildflowers crawl on the grass to cover the grass with a floral carpet.

In addition to clusters of artificially cultivated flowers in each tree, there are also some wild flowers that are loosely distributed among weeds or landscape trees. Compared with neatly planted flowers, these wild flowers give people a natural and messy beauty.

Butterfly Spring in spring is a world of flowers and colors. The rich colors make people dazzle, make people feel happy, and at the same time give people a feeling of laziness.

Summer in Butterfly Spring: Green and coolness coexist

The summer of Butterfly Spring represents the rainy season. It is also the season when the spectacle of "butterflies flying and springs" appeared many years ago. It is also the season to celebrate the "Bai Valentine's Day" on the 15th day of the lunar calendar-the Butterfly Festival.

Summer in Huadian Spring is the most comfortable season. Rainwater irrigates a large area of green and releases endless coolness. It is like a natural air-conditioned room, making people forget the heat and provide maximum satisfaction for both body and mind.

There are many century-old trees in Butterfly Spring. From the acacia trees by Butterfly Spring, to the woods by Lovers Lake, to the bamboo forests on both sides of the tour trail, the buildings here are all wrapped in trees, integrated with the environment, and merged into green sea.

Autumn in Butterfly Spring: The flowers are exhausted, but the charm remains

"In the autumn of fallen leaves, the breeze comes slowly, and all the beauty comes unexpectedly." This is a sentence describing autumn. Although there is no gorgeous rhetoric, it still gives people a touch of warmth, just like the feeling of autumn in Huadian Spring.

There seems to be little difference between autumn and spring in Butterfly Spring. Butterfly Spring is still the same Butterfly Spring that has never changed. It is just that the wind brings coldness, and various degrees of yellow colors appear in the woods, making the colors more complex.

The water in Butterfly Spring and Lovers Lake has not decreased. The colorful butterflies in the Butterfly World are still flying and reproducing in the constant temperature greenhouse. Even if the flowers are exhausted, the charm of Butterfly Spring remains.

Winter in Butterfly Spring: The cool breeze blows and the enthusiasm is as hot as fire

Winter in Dali is warm. Although Butterfly Spring, located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, is relatively cold in winter, the spring water will not freeze and the water is very warm.

Although the cool breeze in Huadi Spring is rustle in winter, the feeling here is still warm. Because of the enthusiastic Bai folk tunes, it seems very lively.

In Yunnan, Yi folk songs and Bai minor tunes are one of the most familiar types of folk songs. Every ethnic minority festival, you will always hear familiar melodies and even sing a few lines.

Every day, on the water stage of Valentine's Lake in Butterfly Spring and the small stage next to Butterfly Spring, the Bai folk songs will be sung according to the time. The lively Bai folk songs are melodious and infectious. The singing conveys enthusiasm like fire and dispels the cold in winter.

The four seasons of Butterfly Spring are the four seasons of Dali. With the control of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, Dali has no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The dry and wet seasons are distinct. It is a livable city that everyone admires. The edified Butterfly Spring has remained unchanged for a long time, and the green mountains still flow with spring water.
