FIREFLIES 

Have you ever seen thousands of fireflies in the night? Toucheng Leisure Farm invites you to enjoy that mysterious sight!
This photo of fireflies was taken in our farm

Firefly is a very special kind of beatle that can light. It is interesting that fireflies don´t produce any heat as light bulbs do! This is very efficient and smart, 90% of produced energy is used for light! Male and female differ a lot. Females cannot fly, they live on the ground. Both of them eat snails. Fireflies are on one side dangerous and on the other side useful. Their blood can be poisonous for some animals, as snakes or lizards. But chemicals which they have in their tails can be used as a medicament in case of cancer or muscular dystrophy, etc.

Female and male

We can observe them in the period from April to July every year. Fireflies live in a very clean environment! In Toucheng Leisure Farm live thousands of them every year, so it is a very natural and strong proof of the fact that our farm is surrounded by pure nature! J

Also eagles can be seen in the moutains around Toucheng Leisure Farm! We can watch them hunting snakes or small chickens. It is nothing cruel, it is just part of food chain, part of nature! These majestic birds wouldn´t survive in big cities, they need big open spaces, fresh air, and good nourishment! J

Toucheng Leisure Farm is proud of its healthy and clean environment. We do our best to preserve nature and in return we live in a very rich place and we can let people feel the power and energy of real nature!
