“Another surprise for visitors is that the valley is home to many butterflies,” he said. A former borough warden, an octogenarian, confirmed that Euploea butterflies, among other varieties, frequented the valley, he said. However, the location where the butterflies originate remains secret to prevent them from being disturbed, he added. The conservation project asked local bakeries to prepare bread without butter for visitors to feed the fish and is looking into creating a special fish feed to sell to tourists, Wang said. Wang also called on tourists not to bring outside bread or feed the fish with leftovers, which could pollute the water source.
