About Hao River Sightseeing Water Bus
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually March, April, May and July, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Rengang.
