Detian Waterfall has reopened, and it turns out to be so beautiful! Sitting on a bamboo raft and slowly approaching the waterfall, the water and mist rush towards me. At that moment, I put down my phone, hoping to capture the spectacular and romantic scene with my eyes👁. This is the Detian Waterfall located in Chongzuo, Guangxi. The scenery seen in reality is ten thousand times more beautiful than the photos. It is recommended to take a bamboo raft🚣🏻 and climb the mountain to enjoy the transnational waterfall from multiple angles. The upstream of Detian Waterfall is a waterfall in Vietnam. It is said that Vietnam releases water every day at noon⏰, and the water💦 volume is the largest at that time. So, either enter the scenic area around eleven o'clock, play around first, and then take pictures of the waterfall at twelve⏰, or come early like us, climb the mountain🏔 first to overlook the full view of the waterfall and karst landforms, and then go down the mountain at noon to take the bamboo raft. It turns out that the water volume is indeed the largest between 11:00 and 13:00. 👉 There is also a rice field coffee☕️ shop in the scenic area, which is highly recommended. The price is not expensive, and it is located halfway up the mountain, making it a great viewing spot. Before you go, it is best to check the weather for the next three days. If it has been raining continuously, the water may turn yellow. Address: Detian Transnational Waterfall, Chongzuo, Guangxi 🎫 Ticket: 115r/person (including round-trip sightseeing bus) For non-self-driving transportation, you can check the direct bus to the scenic spot on Qu Bian Guan

🎉Chongzuo is a scenic spot at every step, and every casual shot is a landscape painting. Even after a long time, the shock and emotion still linger in my heart. ✨Day1: Detian Waterfall Ticket ¥188. Detian Waterfall, the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world, is a 5A-level scenic spot with majestic momentum, as if the mythical scenes from 'The Journey of Flower' reappear before your eyes. ✨Day2: Gulong Mountain Grand Canyon Ticket ¥190. Gulong Mountain Grand Canyon is a drifting journey in close contact with primitive nature. Surrounded by caves, waterfalls, and primitive vegetation, it feels like being in the Amazon jungle. Watching the Gulong Waterfall up close, with a single drop of 128 meters and a width of more than 70 meters, is truly exhilarating! ✨Day3: Mingshi Pastoral Free entry. Here, the green mountains and clear waters are surrounded by beautiful scenery. Taking a bamboo raft to enjoy the charming scenery on both sides is like stepping into the landscapes of Guilin. 🍴Food Recommendations - Laojie Local Restaurant, follow the signboard and you won't go wrong! - Haode Private Kitchen, the steamed native chicken is a must-try! - Heji Country Restaurant, don't miss the roast suckling pig! ⚠️Tips to Avoid Pitfalls - The magic carpet project at Detian Waterfall is suitable for children; adults can skip it. - It is recommended to rent a double electric bike at Mingshi Pastoral. Be aware that parking in some places may incur charges from villagers.

Mingshi Tianyuan is a national AAAA-level scenic spot known for its clear waters and picturesque mountains, earning it the nickname 'Little Guilin.' While Guilin is very popular and often crowded, those who prefer a quieter experience might consider visiting this Guangxi gem. Near Mingshi, there is a famous roadside roasted pig. However, due to the dust kicked up by passing vehicles, it may not seem very hygienic. Additionally, as this is a tourist area, the prices are relatively high. It is recommended to opt for simpler dishes or noodles at regular eateries instead. As we debated whether to take a bamboo raft or tour the park, a tourist from Shenzhen suggested walking along the riverbank to enjoy the same beautiful scenery and close-up performances of ethnic minority songs and flute playing. We found that the riverbank offered equally stunning views with a broader perspective. The most beautiful aspect of Mingshi Tianyuan, however, is best appreciated on foot. Mingshi Tianyuan has specially designed five cycling routes of varying lengths: 'Blessing,' 'Happiness,' 'Hero,' 'Couple,' and 'Exploration.' Due to time constraints, we couldn't explore all five routes and chose the one recommended by the staff for its sunset views, which lies between the Blessing and Happiness routes. This path takes you through vast farmlands with majestic peaks in the background, perfect for photography. Given the hot weather, cycling along the route is advisable. If you choose to walk, be sure to take sun protection measures and bring enough water. Most hotels offer free bicycles, so check in advance when booking. If not, bicycles can be rented at the park entrance for 60 yuan per 3 hours. Most of the Blessing and Happiness routes have dedicated bike paths with minimal village traffic, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride.

Connected to the neighboring Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam, the Detian Waterfall is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. It is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction in China. Surprisingly, this world-class waterfall is not far from Hong Kong at all. Basically, all the spots along the scenic area are along the waterfall, so you can take good photos everywhere. Halfway through, you can choose to pay $30 for a boat ticket to take a small boat to the front of the waterfall for a closer look. The unique feature of this park is that it borders Vietnam, and you can see tourists visiting the Ban Gioc Waterfall on the other side. The park has multiple waterfalls to view, as well as many river features, including rapids and plunge pools. It feels like a field trip for geography students, leaving us in awe. Besides paying $30 to take a boat for close-up shots of the waterfall, you can also see the first, second, and third tiers of the Detian Waterfall by walking along the artificial trails. The third tier offers a full view of the waterfall, the second tier captures the rushing water (for those who like fun photos, you can take pictures that look like you're drinking the waterfall), and the viewing area allows you to photograph all the waterfalls and even capture the curtain of water effect. Behind the waterfall, there is a Sino-Vietnamese market, but it has been closed due to recent Sino-Vietnamese relations. Finally, if you want to return to the entrance of the scenic area, you can choose to take an electric car, but we strongly recommend walking, as there are viewing areas along the way where you can capture panoramic views of the waterfall. Seeing this magnificent waterfall up close is definitely worth the ticket price. If there's one regret about the park, it's that at the beginning of the trail, you'll be constantly approached by local vendors trying to sell you various products, which can be quite annoying.

I'm going to make a major declaration! This year, I've deeply fallen in love with Guangxi! The beautiful mountains and rivers here have truly conquered my heart❗️ Compared to the bustling and lively Guilin and Yangshuo, I'm more drawn to the rarely trodden, peaceful and serene Chongzuo, Baise, and Jingxi. Summer vacation is approaching, and if you also want to visit Guangxi, be sure to bring this guide with you before you set off! ✅Transportation ✈️Fly directly to Nanning Wuxu Airport 🚄Or take a high-speed train directly to Chongzuo South, but I recommend renting a car from Nanning for a more convenient and flexible journey. ⏰Travel Itinerary Day❶Nanning➠Chongzuo➠Detian Waterfall Day❷Chongzuo➠Tongling Grand Canyon➠Sandiequan Waterfall➠Mingshi Pastoral Day❸Chongzuo➠Haokun Lake➠Sanmenhai 📷Recommended Sightseeing Spots 1️⃣Detian Transnational Waterfall Half in China🇨🇳, half in Vietnam🇻🇳, take a boat tour to admire the magnificent waterfall scenery on the Sino-Vietnamese border river. It's currently the high-water period, and I strongly suggest arriving around noon, as Vietnam upstream will release water, making the waterfall even more spectacular! 2️⃣Mingshi Pastoral The mountains and pastoral scenery here are tranquil and pure. Renting a bicycle or a small electric scooter to ride through the fields is really healing. In the evening, the sunset through the mountains creates an incredibly dreamy scene✨ 3️⃣Tongling Grand Canyon Deep in Guangxi, there's a prehistoric Jurassic plant garden of China! Without visiting here, how would you know that a leaf can be bigger than a person! 4️⃣Haokun Lake Navigate to 📍Nongwaitun and then slowly drive up the mountain road to the innermost basketball court, then hike to the top. You can also take a rural motorcycle up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, trying the same hiking route as Zhang Xinyu, worth a try for friends who like outdoor activities. 5️⃣Sanmenhai The water here really has magic! The color is dreamily extreme! Even on cloudy days, the lake presents a milky white color like Tiffany blue. If you've heard of Palau's Milk Lake, then this is Guangxi's Milk Lake! What's more special is that walking through the canyon caves feels like being in the world of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'. 6️⃣Chongzuo Wild Camping Collection I can say without hesitation that just for this wild camping collection, I would visit Chongzuo again! It feels like roaming in a small Southeast Asian country, filled with a vacation and leisure atmosphere. Sitting on the nearby Heishui River, drinking afternoon tea on a bamboo raft, is a truly special experience! Swimming in the mushroom-roofed pool in the afternoon and watching the sunset on the lawn in the evening is definitely a wonderful time. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I am Zhang Anran, and the happiest way to live is to travel🏞 If this has been helpful to you, you can give me a little like👍 If there's anything unclear, feel free to leave a comment below💞

📝 Itinerary at a Glance Specific dates: 05/03-05/06 day1: Guangzhou South Station-Nanning Station-Chongzuo South Station day2: Tongling Grand Canyon day3: Detian Waterfall + Mingshi Pastoral day4: Chongzuo South Station-Nanning Station-Guangzhou South Station 🏨 Hotel: City Convenience Hotel (Chongzuo Friendship Avenue Baicheng International Branch) The hotels in Chongzuo are very nice, with spacious rooms, high floors, and a clean environment. The feature is that they have smart devices; the price during May Day has doubled to 400/night, while the regular price of 200+ can be a good deal. It's about a 7-minute drive from Chongzuo South Station, which is convenient for taxis, and car rentals are available at Chongzuo South Station. 🚗 Ctrip Car Rental Rent a car on the 2nd/3rd day, then drive to the scenic area. It takes about one and a half hours from the city to the scenic area. The highway is surrounded by karst landforms, and even the roadside scenery is so beautiful that driving is not boring haha 📬 Other Shares 1. Tongling Grand Canyon The scenic area is not big, and most of the way is shaded by trees, so it doesn't feel too hot. Still, it's better for beauty-loving girls to prepare a sun protection garment. There are many farm restaurants outside the scenic area, and I love their roasted chicken. If I come again, I can show off a whole chicken 2. Detian Transnational Waterfall Just buy the 228 package ticket, which includes all the items. You have to wear a very ugly slide shorts for the high-altitude slide, which can be embarrassing if you're wearing a skirt 😅, so it's better to wear pants that day. If you want beautiful photos, remember to look for 'Viewing Waterfall Paddy Field Coffee Time Collection', or ask the staff in the scenic area. For reference, see pictures 1-5. It's not too late to find them after playing all the items. The high-altitude slide takes you back to the Dajinggu Square, and the Coffee Time Collection is at the entrance of a wooden walkway on the square 3. Mingshi Pastoral Because we played too long at Detian Waterfall that day, we didn't get to Mingshi Pastoral until 6 pm. We rented a 'bagaji' car (50/h) and went straight to the Fish Scale Dam, took some photos, and it was dark. Then we rode around on the car and left

The Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, on the upstream of the Guichun River at the border between China and Vietnam.

March is not the time when the Detian Waterfall has abundant water, but it is still awe-inspiring! Shuolong and Vietnam are only separated by the Guichun River.
