Every year from March to May is the firefly season in most parts of Taiwan, when the grasslands and forests shimmer like a dream, making it an ideal time for soul-soothing experiences. Homestays nestled in picturesque settings across the island also begin to glow with fireflies during this lively season. Fireflies thrive in undisturbed, pollution-free environments. Below are five Taiwanese homestays where you can witness the magical glow of fireflies nearby — a truly relaxing and healing experience.

Happy Hinoki Homestay
Happy Hinoki Homestay is located in the beautiful mountainous and watery region of Gukeng Township. Built entirely from natural hinoki cypress, the environment is non-toxic, well-ventilated, and zero-pollution — attracting fireflies to the area. At night, not only can you enjoy the city skyline, but the surrounding forest garden also sparkles with fireflies.
