Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are the best seasons with mild temperatures and clear skies. The Li River is at its most beautiful in spring when the mist creates a magical landscape. The rice terraces are most spectacular in May-June (water-filled, reflecting the sky) and late September-October (golden harvest). Summer (July-August) is hot and humid with frequent rain, but the scenery is lush and green. Winter (November-February) is cooler and quieter, with fewer tourists and lower prices.
