When the border meets a waterfall, the romance of Detian transcends imagination

Hey guys, the Detian Transnational Waterfall in Guangxi, this hidden gem on the China-Vietnam border, must be added to your travel bucket list! 📝 📍 Location: Daxin County, Chongzuo, Guangxi – where you can literally step onto two countries at once and experience unique border vibes~ 🚗 Transportation Guide: ✈️ Fly to Nanning Wuxu Airport first, then rent a car for a ~3-hour scenic drive—it’s like gliding through a painting 🚗. 🚌 Alternatively, take a bus from Nanning Xixiangtang Bus Station to Daxin County (¥74), then transfer to the scenic shuttle (¥10)—budget-friendly and convenient~ 🎫 Ticket Info: ¥80/person (includes bamboo raft), half-price for students, and free for seniors over 60—so thoughtful! 🥰 🌟 Must-Visit Spots: 1. **Detian Waterfall Main Area**: Asia’s largest transnational waterfall, with a 70-meter three-tiered cascade. From June to November (peak flow season), the roaring waters resemble a stampede of horses, sometimes even creating a "Golden Waterfall" spectacle—utterly breathtaking! 🙊 Take a bamboo raft to get up close, feel the mist on your face, with China’s Detian on one side and Vietnam’s Ban Gioc on the other—truly "one foot in two countries"~ 2. **Boundary Marker No. 53**: A historic landmark on the China-Vietnam border, steeped in stories 📜. Nearby, a cross-border market buzzes with Vietnamese vendors selling coffee, perfumes, and cashews—cheap, authentic, and fun to bargain in Chinese! 3. **Denggao Wangyue Viewing Platform**: Hike up Xiangu Peak via wooden trails for a panoramic view of the waterfall and the Guichun River winding through karst peaks. On clear days, you can even spot Vietnamese villages in the distance—like stepping into a hidden paradise! The glass walkway and zip line (extra fee) are thrilling—daredevils, go for it! 💪 4. **Mingshi Countryside**: A 20-minute drive from the waterfall, this was the filming location for *The Journey of Flower*’s immortal realm. Drift on a bamboo raft through rice fields and karst peaks—you’ll feel like a character in a fantasy world! Pair it with the waterfall for a perfect day trip. So worth it! 🥳 🥘 Food Recs: - **Vietnamese Spring Rolls**: Fresh shrimp and mint wrapped in rice paper, dipped in fish sauce—crisp and refreshing! - **Hemp Seed Fish Soup**: Fresh river fish simmered with longevity hemp seeds—so delicious it’ll blow your mind~ - **Vietnamese G7 Coffee**: Freshly ground and brewed at the market, aromatic and only ¥10/cup—energizing and tasty~ 📸 Photo Tips: - Shoot at dawn or dusk for soft light—the waterfall looks like a painting! - Wear solid-colored dresses or Hanfu to contrast with the green karst backdrop—instant magazine-worthy shots. - Use a wide-angle for the waterfall’s grandeur and a telephoto for water spray details—different lenses, different magic~ 🏠 Accommodation: - **Riverside B&Bs in the Scenic Area**: ¥400–800/night, with waterfall views and the sound of flowing water to lull you to sleep—pure bliss! - **Shuolong Town B&Bs**: Great value at ¥200–400/night, just a 10-minute drive to the scenic area~ 💡 Pro Tips: - Check the weather—sunny days = happy vibes and stunning views! - Pack sunscreen and bug spray—border sun and mosquitoes don’t play nice 🦟. - Scenic area food is pricey, so bring snacks to munch on~ Pack your bags, folks, and head to Detian Transnational Waterfall for a magical blend of borderland charm and natural wonder! 🌍
