Stand Up Paddle Boarding and Kayaking in Yangshuo

My girlfriend and I had Ashoi (Sky) as a guide. He took us to a quiet area on the Li River for stand up paddle boarding, which was frequented by locals and other tourists for an afternoon dip. Apparently, for kayaking/canoeing it’s not possible to go to the Li River due to government rules and you need to drive an hour outside of Yangshuo to find a suitable location but we opted for SUP, which is more flexible, with the Li River being the best option. Ashoi knew some great places for us to do a little climbing and diving into the water in between. Ashoi was a good instructor and we felt really safe and relaxed with him, he also shared a little about Chinese culture and was good company. All in all, it was a great experience and a really lovely couple of hours!
