“We first called the owner’s wife and she said that the best time to watch fireflies is around 8-9 o’clock recently.” According to Ms. Yang, they arrived at about 6 o’clock. They picked wild vegetables in the fields of the manor and gave them to the owner’s wife for processing.

“Fireflies have been flying for the past two days. To follow the laws of nature, so the Fifth Firefly Tourism Festival in Yuanbang also opened earlier than in previous years.” Qin Guoxin said that the best time to watch fireflies was from mid-May to the end of June every year.

“Now we have farmed more than 300 mu of land with natural farming methods. The ecology is good, and the number of these fireflies is growing slowly. Now there may be more than 100,000 fireflies.”

A few years ago, they both quit their stable jobs and came to Maliu Village, Shichuan Town. Natural farming methods to cultivate land and fruit trees has improved the ecological environment here. The fireflies in the mountains have become the unexpected harvest of the couple and witnessed their love.

“There is a blueberry picking garden in front of us. Tourists come to pick fresh blueberries in the daytime and watch fireflies in the evening.” “A lot of tourists said that it was really comfortable to eat healthy food while watching the beautiful scenery of fireflies,” said Wang Xuemei, the owner’s wife.
