Open your door to a sparkling firefly show – Five stunning firefly-watching homestays

Text by MOOK Scenic Spots / Reported by Christopher

Every year from March to May is the firefly season in most parts of Taiwan, where the grasslands and forests shimmer like a dream, perfect for soul-soothing moments. During this period, beautifully scenic accommodations across the island also come alive with dancing fireflies. The area becomes lively as fireflies prefer undisturbed and pollution-free environments. Here are five homestays in Taiwan where you can see the little fireflies glowing nearby, offering a truly relaxing and healing experience.

Happy Hinoki Homestay
Nestled in the picturesque Guankeng Township, Happy Hinoki Homestay is built entirely from natural hinoki cypress, featuring a non-toxic, well-ventilated environment. Its zero-pollution surroundings attract fireflies, and at night you can not only enjoy the city skyline but also witness the enchanting glow of fireflies in the backyard woods.

Wulongyuan Coffee Homestay
Wulongyuan grows its coffee organically, resulting in richly aromatic beans that are neither sour nor bitter, with a smooth, mellow taste and a long-lasting aftertaste that lingers in the throat. The high-quality surrounding environment also attracts fireflies. At night, aside from firefly watching, you can also enjoy a breathtaking panoramic million-dollar night view.
