The Yulong River is one of the most important tributary of Li River. It starts in Northern Yangshuo County near Litang and runs for over 35 kilometers through small villages of the Yulong River Valley, including Putao, Litang, Chaolong, Yima and Gaotian town, before emptying into the Li around the town of Ping Le.
The Yulong is a shallow river of around 5 meters maximum depth and an average of 25 meters across. As it is not located near any industrial areas, it is clean enough for swimming, though some brownish surface foam is visible in eddies, probably the result of phosphate runoff from local villages.
