Maolin : Introduction

We are the students of Sin Fong Primary School, which is located near Maolin National Scenic Area in the south of Taiwan. The purple crow butterflies that we introduce in our project come to Maolin for winter migrant every year. Maolin National Scenic Area covers 59,800 hectares. It is long and narrow in dimension, stretching from Ali mountain in the north and Jade mountain to the Central Mountains.  Maolin National Scenic Area administrative covers six townships in Kaoshiung and Pingtung counties. The area's purple butterflies gather here to live in the winter, making it comparable to Mexico's Monarch Butterfly Valley as a world-famous sight.

Our beautiful friend, the purple crow butterfly, comeback to Maolin to stay with us every winter. All of you would really want to know why do the purple crow butterfly choose Maolin instead of the other wonderful place in Taiwan. And that’s why we make this project. The butterflies come here because it’s warm in winter here, because there are lots of foods for them in winter here, because the people here know how to live peacefully with them and treat them just like friend, because ……, please enjoy our project by yourselves and find the answers.

The sign “Watch out the Purple Butterfly, slow down, please!” is the most beautiful sign in the world. It show we really pay attention to butterfly ecology and environment protection.
