Just a few minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and its millions of summer time visitors is an incredible natural phenomenon known as synchronous (同步的) fireflies. This breathtaking show put on by nature is an experience you will never forget.
Why Do They Flash?
The distinct flashing pattern of the synchronous fireflies is difficult to describe and nearly impossible to photograph or catch on film. The light they give out, which produces no heat, is due to a chemical reaction of luciferin and oxygen and is use to attract a mate.
