Lily Town

Taiwan has been called the "Kingdom of Butterflies" with more than 400 species of butterflies in Taiwan, and 40 of them can be found nowhere else in the world! There was a time during the 1960's when thousands of workers here were producing butterfly art and crafts. It is estimated that some 10 million butterflies were caught every year.

陽光充足、平原遼闊的白河水鄉，是台灣第一個以賞荷聞名的觀光勝地；阡陌縱橫的蓮田，宛如水世界，每年六月到九月的花季，蓮花將小鎮裝扮成一片花海，白河因而有了蓮之鄉的美稱。 　　台灣素有「蝴蝶王國」的美名，在白河一地，便可觀察到各色鳳蝶、蛺蝶、弄蝶、斑蝶與粉蝶。「白河水庫」提供當地飽滿的生命之液。「白水溪基督教會」土豪焚燬教堂，追殺傳教士事件。關仔嶺風景區內的「碧雲寺」已有兩百年的曆史列爲縣定古蹟。知名的「水火同源」更是地理奇景；台灣國寶「黑色溫泉」與義大利、日本並列爲世界三大泥漿溫泉之一。由百年曆史的老天主堂所改建的「溫泉會館」賦予老建築新的面貌。 在這塊受上天賜福的土地，花農以勤勉的雙手，讓歡樂的花之祭時時刻刻都在台灣舞動著。
