However, as mentioned above, the unfavorable conditions for visiting Yangshuo in April are high precipitation and humidity. Therefore, to furtherly determine whether April is an OK time for you, you need to consider whether you can tolerate the following potential issues:

1.    While you may indeed encounter some clear and sunny moments, when the natural scenery looks more stunning, it’s also likely that you will face frequent overcast skies and many rainy days. On cloudy days, mountains and rivers are shrouded in gloomy light, lacking some charm. On days with light rain, you can still go out to visit, but the visibility is somewhat low, and may be very low sometimes. On days with or even after heavy downpours, which are usually in the second half month, you will find that the waters of the Li River and Yulong River are no longer clear but turn murky. Moreover, bamboo rafting, a popular activity in Yangshuo, may be suspended due to the quite high water levels.
2.    The air is consistently humid. On rainy days, clothes are often damp. During sunny midday hours, you may feel stiflingly stuffy.
