Butterfly Kuangsi Waterfalls (Source: Internet)Watching hundreds of colourful butterflies flutter among tropical flowers is one of the most peaceful and photogenic experiences in the region. These living gardens are perfect half-day escapes from temples and cities, ideal for families with children, couples seeking romantic moments, and photographers hunting for vibrant macro shots.
All four countries – Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand – protect dozens of butterfly species in beautifully landscaped gardens, many of which also function as conservation and breeding centres. Best of all, every location in this guide can be visited on a comfortable, air-conditioned private or small-group tour arranged by Legend Travel Group.
