Must-visit attractions include Baoding Garden, Qingyun Temple, Feishuitan and Butterfly Valley. Feishuitan boasts spectacular flowing springs and waterfalls, which once attracted Sun Yat-sen and Song Qingling to visit and had the six characters "Sun Yat-sen Swimming Place" inscribed on the cliff by Song Qingling. Butterfly Valley is another scenic spot that requires purchasing a separate ticket. The primitive forest has a rich variety of vegetation, and the valley is full of babbling brooks and numerous waterfalls, including Renzi Waterfall and White Elephant Waterfall, which are worth visiting.
