It is becoming more and more popular among the locals and tourists.

The most beautiful scenery along Li River is between Yangdi and Xingping. Yangdi and Xingping section is about 18km long. It is great to kayak slowly on Li River to appreciate its beauty. You could hire a kayak in Yangdi. The best time for kayaking is between May and October. Other times are not for kayaking for the water level in Li River is too low to kayak. And weather between November and March is not ideal for kayaking either.
