Chinese tourism officials pinned live butterflies to a model’s dress in an effort highlight the wide range of colours on show at a special show dedicated to the insect.

The Bao Tianman Scenic Spot in Nanzhao County in Henan Province is famous for its butterflies.

As a result, local tourism chiefs decided that a butterfly festival would be an appropriate way to encourage tourists to visit the region which is almost 600 miles from Beijing.

Officials were told that eco-tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the leisure business and decided to try and increase their market share.

The highlight of this weekend’s festival was the appearance of the butterfly fairy, complete with several dozen of the live insects pinned to her dress.
