Dongwo Creek Firefly Ecological Zone

April and May each year mark the season when tung blossoms are in full bloom and fireflies emerge in large numbers, making it the best time to observe fireflies. Thousands of tiny, glittering sprites come out in full force, gracefully dancing among the trees and along the paths, twinkling like stars in the sky! Located near the Neiwan Old Street, the Dongwo Creek Firefly Ecological Zone offers a perfect opportunity to visit the old street in the afternoon before enjoying the spectacle of fireflies dancing everywhere at dusk. You don't need to venture deep into the mountains, making it very suitable for bringing children. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Hengshan Township Office in conservation and protection, the serene environment, free from light pollution, is an ideal habitat for fireflies. In the mountainous area, you can spot glowing black-winged fireflies and hear the chirping of insects. The peak time for firefly appearance each day is from 7 PM to 8 PM. They prefer warm and humid weather, so after a rainy night, you are more likely to see them gracefully fluttering about.
