Li River Hiking

Hiking along Li River

The beauty of the Li River cannot be fully appreciated on a boat. Instead, hike slowly along the river, stopping here and there by the river, and emerge your feet in the water. Follow the trail in the bamboo forest, tramping over golden rice fields and camp for one night to experience the sunrise and sunset. This is how to fully appreciate the beauty of the Li River.
