Nanjing's Secret Firefly Wonderland at Night

July in Nanjing means falling into a romantic galaxy of fireflies ✨ After 7 years in Nanjing, I discovered Linggu Temple is actually the hidden champion for firefly viewing! My first visit last year left me speechless with its breathtaking sea of flickering lights - every casual shot became wallpaper-worthy magic. 🌟【Best Viewing Guide】 Ideal period: Early to mid-late July Prime time: 20:00-22:00 (best after complete darkness) Hidden gems: Paths near Zhigong Hall at Linggu Temple, woods behind Wuliang Hall (fewer people, more fireflies!) 📸 Photography tips: 1⃣ Must bring tripod! Long exposure captures firefly trails 2⃣ Recommended settings: iso1600-3200|shutter 15-30s|maximum aperture 3⃣ Wear light-colored clothes to attract fireflies (tested & proven) 🙅🏻♀️ Important notes: ❌ Absolutely NO flash ❌ Do NOT catch fireflies ❌ Maintain silence With recent heatwaves, there are more fireflies than usual - don't miss this summer-exclusive starry river!
