Midsummer is the best time to watch fireflies.

Tucked away in the picturesque villages of Xiachuan and Taoyuan in Changhong township, Kaihua county, Quzhou, these ethereal creatures have imbued the surroundings with a magical luminescence, captivating locals and visitors alike.

The best time to watch fireflies in summer is usually from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm.

Watching the glowing bugs is a truly captivating experience, as if nature herself had painted the dark canvas with sparks of light.

After 9:30 pm, the number of fireflies gradually dwindles, signaling the end of their dazzling performance.

In addition, Gaotiankeng natural village in Zhenzikeng village, Changhong township, is the highest-altitude, most intact and oldest ancient village in Kaihua county.

The air there is clear with no smog and almost no light pollution. Its Bortle dark night classification is level 2, which means that it is great for stargazing and is considered to be the best place to observe meteor showers in East China.
