The Nanla River Dragon Fruit Lantern Sea is now open

The Nanla River Camp Dragon Fruit Lantern Sea is now open! Over 200 acres of dragon fruit fields light up simultaneously at night, creating a romantic sea of lights, as if stepping into a fairy tale world. Dragon fruit requires high light exposure, needing 10-12 hours of light daily; supplemental lighting helps break dormancy and accelerates growth. The dragon fruit flower sea is equally enchanting, with flowers blooming at night and closing at dawn, known as the "Night Fairy." The lantern sea is open daily from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM the next day, sometimes lighting up earlier. The rainforest market is open as usual this Saturday, just 200 meters from the lantern sea. It is recommended to drive or take a taxi there. Nearby accommodations include Nanla River·Paya Resort Hotel and Manlongle Village Homestay. Come check in at this "romantic sea of stars"!
