陶蝶 H Introduction
Located next to Zhong Er Highway, it is owned by Mr. Li Qingqin. The meaning of Taodi is that this place offers teaching in pottery art, painting, and indigo dyeing, with colorful butterflies dancing around the garden. The "H" stands for Home, showcasing the owner's ingenuity. From the platform, one can gaze down at the Mazu statue, the beautiful scenery of Zhong Er Highway's bridge pier, and the pastoral landscape, which is quite lovely. In the spring and summer seasons, amidst the colorful flowers, butterflies and blooms compete in beauty, equally stunning. The garden is richly planted with various caterpillar host plants. The characteristics of these host plants and nectar plants in the butterfly garden, along with their dependency on different butterfly species, allow visitors to gain an understanding of ecological environments, guiding them to learn about the competition and cooperation among organisms in nature, as well as the impact of the food chain on living beings and the environment, fulfilling the function of ecological education. In order to enhance people's exposure to nature and deepen their understanding of the wonders of life in the natural world, inspiring interest in learning and exploration, thus achieving the purpose of education through entertainment, the park has created an ideal and safe outdoor natural farming and teaching space. In this space, one can also see cute miniature pigs and large white geese wandering around. Taodi is an open butterfly garden that can assist biology teachers from various levels to conduct local teaching materials and outdoor classes. Within the garden, one can find Common Mormon, Blue Tiger, Yellow Glassy Tiger, Striped Tiger, Swallowtail, Common Rose, and other butterflies. If lucky, one may even spot the conservation-listed Common Windmill, making it a rich ecological educational garden teeming with diverse life forms, including butterflies, rhinoceros beetles, longhorn beetles, stag beetles, and birds. The park also showcases ceramic works that are small and cute, complementing the horticultural cultivation with unique characteristics. The owner has recently promoted pottery painting and scarf plant indigo dyeing courses, allowing visitors to choose their favorite plants or colors to create their own unique silk products. The park offers excellent views, with the administrative center of Xihu Township visible in the distance, and looking up reveals lush green mountains. Birds sing harmoniously, and one may occasionally encounter amusing scenes of squirrels darting by.
