Took a 3 segment tour and this ride in the Li river (漓江）was the first of the afternoon activities. The rafts were motorized and only able to take 4 passengers on each craft. The total ride about 90 mins and you will end at the same place that you depart. The ride was scenic and relaxing. Recommended if you have time and are in the vicinity of Yangshuo.

If you are taking an abridged boat ride on the Li River instead of the full course cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo, this is probably the best place to commence. As of April 2019, small motor boats can only go till Nine Horses Hill, at which point, you take an electric vehicle to Xing Ping town. Note that your boat ticket from Yangdi to Nine Horses Hill will include this electric vehicle ride from Nine Horses Hill to Xing Ping town, so don't lose your ticket, as you need to present it in Nine Horses Hill upon your disembarkation to board the electric vehicle to Xing Ping. Yangdi is a rather rural port, and communication can be a problem if you don't speak Chinese. Thus, if you take this route, you're best getting a tour from a travel agency, who will take care of you by bringing you to Yangdi, arranging for your boat ride from Yangdi to Nine Horses Hill, and so on until you reach your intended final destination. The price difference is very very minimal, and you will save yourself the headache of figuring out your transportation arrangements at each step.
