(According to the lunar calendar, the beginning of summer usually falls on May 5 or May 6.) As early as the beginning of May, you can start visiting the fireflies. A number of people mentions the best viewing period is between May and September, but in fact, the peak\u2014when you see the most\u2014is only in early May, and latest by mid\u2011May. That\u2019s when you can witness countless fireflies flashing and flying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time I went a bit late. By the end of May, only some are still flying around. It is still a nice experience, but I prefer the sight of a whole swarm, like a sea of flowers sparkling everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you dislike the outdoors or really don\u2019t like insects, it\u2019s not recommended to go. But if you want to see them without too many flying right in front of you, then around end of May is the most suitable time. After end of June, it is uncertain if you can still them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Firefly Viewing Places<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting off from Hong Kong, the closest option is actually Dalingshan Forest Park in Dongguan. Transportation is more convenient, and the area is larger but tends to be more crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another location is Xichong in Shenzhen. Taking public transport (E11 then transfer to M232) from Liantang station takes a long time, while taking a taxi\/didi is more comfortable. The area is remote and less crowded, but traffic jams are common upon returning at night. Hence, it\u2019s recommended to stay overnight in Xichong. Since I decided to return on the same day, I don\u2019t have accommodation recommendations. However, you can search on Trip.com, with prices around HK$200 per night, and lodging is close to the firefly viewing area. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, so food won\u2019t be a problem. If you decide to return to Shenzhen on the same day, you can still get supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Xichong Firefly Viewing Areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three areas where you can see fireflies. The most convenient is along the small path near the parking lot P9 (First Image below). Self-driving can park at P9 parking lot, walk along the nearby path (Firefly Greenway, marked in red in first image) and you\u2019ll be able to see them on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another spot is along the road leading to the Shenzhen Observatory (Second image). If you choose to go up to the observatory, you should take dinner beforehand, since you\u2019ll also be stargazing and photographing star trails there. However, there is still some light pollution. For those self driving, you cannot drive directly up to the observatory\u2014you must take a shuttle bus. There is a parking lot near the shuttle bus stop where you can park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"988\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route.jpg 749w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route2-611x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route2-611x1024.jpg 611w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route2-179x300.jpg 179w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-route2.jpg 653w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you arrive early, you can first go to Beach No.\u202f4 to sit and enjoy the sea. Alternatively, nearby there\u2019s a McDonald\u2019s or Luckin Coffee nearby where you can grab something to eat and kill some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Firefly Viewing Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From 7 to 9\u202fpm. After sunset, fireflies begin to appear. As you continue walking along the path, you\u2019ll keep seeing fireflies flying on both sides, and sometimes even across the walkway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day I went, there weren\u2019t large swarms of fireflies, so I didn\u2019t use my camera for long\u2011exposure shots. But I did capture some video on my phone. If you\u2019re interested, you can check it out on my IG profile or Facebook page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Important Reminders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not turn on lights. Basically, you don\u2019t need a light to see the path. If you really can\u2019t see at night, just hold tightly onto the person next to you. But sometimes motorcycles with bright headlights will pass by\u2026<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it rains at night, you won\u2019t see fireflies.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to avoid using mosquito repellent.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I believe you won&#8217;t capture any fireflies, right?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-note.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-note.jpg 528w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u87a2\u706b\u87f2-note-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every summer marks the fireflies season .
