High season and shoulder season

In summer, dramatic thunderstorms and torrential rains often happen and heavy rainfalls cause the high water between July and September. This period is usually considered as the high water season (flood season) on the cruising itineraries. And in winter, due to less rainfall, cruising usually halts somewhere in the low water season (dry season). You may find the note that "Depending upon the river's water conditions, either Gorges off the Daning River or the Shennong Stream will be visited." appear below an itinerary.
