They usually re-enter the land from the coast near Chaozhou and go straight to the Purple Butterfly Valley. Butterflies of deep mountains and high mountains. Then they went down the mountain to the waist of the central mountain in Pingtung County, and temporarily lived in the higher mountain valley, and then with the temperature decreasing. The cold current came, and then moved to the lower mountains. This migration sometimes occurs several times and forms a larger group.
