Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Detian Transnational Waterfall
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. It is connected to the nearby Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam and is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. It is a Chinese national AAAAA tourist attraction. 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.
AMBER HENDERSON
No wonder it's the location choice for 'The Journey of Flower', so beautiful! So stunning!
First stop: The awe of nature
The imminent sound of the waterfall seems to be calling for the brave explorers. Standing in front of the Detian transnational waterfall, I was deeply moved by this spectacular natural wonder. The water flows like thousands of horses galloping down, and the mist raised refracts rainbows in the sunlight, so unreal in its beauty.
Second stop: The romance of crossing nations
One step across two countries, I left my footprints at the border of Vietnam and Guangxi. Here, the boundary line becomes blurred, with only the endless beauty and rich cultural atmosphere. I communicated with the local children with smiles, feeling the warmth of different nations.
Third stop: The holy land for photo check-ins
Every corner is an excellent background for photos. I put on my brightest dress and took pictures with the waterfall, capturing this unforgettable experience. Each photo shines with the light of youth, making one eager to share them on social media, reaping loads of likes and envy.
The Detian transnational waterfall is not just a simple trip; it is a spiritual cleansing, a courage to challenge oneself. Here, I found inner peace and also ignited a passion for exploring the unknown. If you also long for a trip that you can just set off on, then start from Detian!

Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!!
Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!! On a spontaneous trip, I came to Chongzuo, this small border city. After arriving by high-speed train, I was immediately amazed by the city. It boasts ink-painting-like countryside, mountains all around, cascading waterfalls and springs, and the cost of living is very low.
This city fulfills all the fantasies of 'choosing a city to grow old in.' In such beautiful landscapes, time seems to stop flowing, and there is nothing that the landscapes of Chongzuo can't cure; if once isn't enough, then come twice! Next, follow my route and start your Chongzuo journey!
🛻 Chongzuo 3 Days 2 Nights Self-Drive Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Rent a car from Chongzuo South Station and head to Detian Transnational Waterfall Group, then go to Mingshi Countryside (watch the sunset here, accommodation prices are about 200-300 yuan).
Day 2: First visit Mingshi Countryside, then go to Gulong Canyon, Sandiequan Waterfall, Tongling Grand Canyon, Aibu Waterfall, and finally arrive at E'quan (watch the sunset here, accommodation prices are about 100-200 yuan).
Day 3: Depart from E'quan, head to Jiuzhou Ancient Town, and then to Longyang Tiankeng (if time permits, you can also visit Jianlong Mountain, which is on the way to Longyang Tiankeng), and finally return to Chongzuo South Station (if there is a relevant high-speed train, you can leave on the same day, if not, you can leave the next morning, accommodation prices are about 100-200 yuan).
⚠️ Sincerely recommend the following places worth visiting 📷
1️⃣ Detian Transnational Waterfall: Take a bamboo raft and drift under the waterfall, feeling the first healing that Chongzuo brings to you. It is famous at home and abroad for its unique beauty of mountains and rivers. ⚠️ The rainy season starts around June, and if you go now, water will be released upstream from 12-14 o'clock, and the flow is smaller at other times.
2️⃣ Mingshi Countryside: This place gave me a new understanding of the phrase 'Not accustomed to the mundane world, naturally loving the hills and mountains.' Drifting on a bamboo raft under the sunset with the sky and clouds, the distant mountains under the karst topography are like ink, like a scroll of landscape paintings.
3️⃣ E'quan: The water here is crystal clear, reaching the state of 'seemingly swimming in emptiness without reliance.' The fried fish here is both cheap and delicious, and a bamboo raft trip around costs only 10 yuan per person.
4️⃣ Longyang Tiankeng: Near Chongzuo in Baise Pingguo, there hides a place like a Zelda in the real world. 'The wind blows low and reveals the cattle and sheep' is vividly presented here, and the round trip hike takes about 3 hours, remember to bring a walking stick and water, and take sun protection measures.
5️⃣ Jiuzhou Ancient Town: Known as the 'Town of Hydrangea,' it is largely uncommercialized. Taking photos on the bridge is very photogenic, and you can enter for free after 6 pm.
6️⃣ Waterfall Canyon Group: Gulong Canyon, Tongling Grand Canyon, Aibu Waterfall, and Sandiequan Waterfall each have their own characteristics. Among them, Gulong Canyon offers rafting, Tongling Grand Canyon offers rainforest hiking, Aibu Waterfall and Sandiequan Waterfall are free, and the aerial photography effect is better during the rainy season.

|||The lasting appeal of traveling in Guangxi. I thought Guilin and Yangshuo were beautiful enough, until I went to Chongzuo and Baise❗|||The lasting appeal of traveling in Guangxi is tremendous❗
Waterfalls, lakes, karst peaks, caves, springs, countryside...
Guangxi is not just Guilin and Yangshuo, Baise and Chongzuo have beautiful scenery with fewer people❗
Traveled with friends by car for 5 days and 4 nights, the cost per person was less than 1600💰
For a May Day trip to Guangxi, save this self-driving itinerary from Baise to Chongzuo❗

The Ultimate Tour Guide to Mingshi Countryside
🌼【Mingshi Countryside】
1) Mingshi Countryside is a scenic area, with hotels divided into Mingshi Villa, Mingshi Courtyard, and Mingshi Elegant Residence (free boat ride once a day in the scenic area, breakfast and dinner included? Bicycles are free, free beer), which are guest houses, four-star hotels, and boutique hotels respectively.
Personally, I don't recommend staying here, mainly because the prices are quite high, but if money is not an issue, feel free to choose~
🌼2) Ways to explore Mingshi Countryside (I rented an electric bike)
🔵1. Bamboo Raft
The whole bamboo raft journey takes 40 minutes, costs 120 yuan, and because the exit of the bamboo raft is in the Zhuang Ethnic Museum, it also includes the museum ticket (80 yuan if bought separately). The bamboo raft mainly sails in the river, many places are not accessible, many views are not visible, so I don't recommend spending this unnecessary money.
🔵2. Bicycle/Electric Bike
There are bicycle/electric bike rentals along the road. The scenic area has built a bicycle lane, you can ride without a ticket. The road condition is good with no slopes, you can go deep into the countryside, and have a complete experience. You can enter from the entrance near Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform, cross a bridge in the middle. The price is about 10 yuan/hour for a bicycle, 10 yuan/hour or 20 yuan/hour for an electric bike, depending on the model.
🔵3. Randomly Find a Tuk-tuk on the Road
Most of the tricycles parked on the side of the road are tuk-tuks soliciting business. They can go on the bicycle lane, saving time and effort, and you can have a complete experience. Basically, you can play from near Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform to the Happiness Bridge (100 meters in front of the Secret Hotel).
🌼3) Mingshi Countryside has two large parking lots, which are the upper and lower points of the bamboo raft. For the upper point, navigate to 'Mingshi Countryside Scenic Area West Parking Lot' or 'Bamboo Raft Tourist Boarding Dock'. For the lower point, navigate to 'Zhuang Ethnic Museum'. However, there is also a shuttle bus between the two points.

Lay back in the pastoral secret realm by the mountains and waters! Can't bear to leave!
This secluded resort in Ming Shi Countryside of Chongzuo, Guangxi, is nestled between mountains and rivers. We stayed here for two days, and what I mainly want to say is:
1 Check-in: A few local ladies in traditional attire will sing enthusiastic welcome songs at the entrance, present you with their prepared embroidered ball decorations, followed by homemade ice jelly; drinking a bowl of ice jelly in this hot and humid season is really refreshing!
2 Detian Waterfall Tea Room: Reservation is required, and I really like this! In addition to enjoying the best viewing spot of Detian Waterfall for an hour in the tea room, I find the tea snacks here are made with care and taste great, at least we both really liked them. It also includes all tickets to Detian Waterfall, as well as a dedicated guide to help with ticket purchases and accompany you throughout the tour, which is quite worth it! I want to say that the housekeeper sister in the tea room and the tour guide sister who took us around are both so gentle and patient, I really want to thank them for their meticulous help and smiles!
3 Bamboo Raft Afternoon Tea: Reservation is required, and you can enjoy afternoon tea on a bamboo raft exclusively rowed in the hotel's lake!
In addition to the facilities that a resort should have, the hotel also has its own mountains, rice fields, sugarcane forests, banana trees, and phoenix trees, immersing guests in the karst landscape from the moment they open their eyes and step into the hotel every day! The rooms are very spacious, and many snacks, drinks, and tea are provided for free; what I like most here is that the pest control in the rooms is really up to par, not a single mosquito was found, which made us feel much more at ease than the homestay we stayed at the previous day!
|Breakfast: Very rich, in addition to the regular buffet, there are also various rice noodles made on the spot, and more rice noodles and Western food that can be ordered for free according to your needs. Enjoying the beautiful scenery while tasting delicious food, you can really calm down here and enjoy this pastoral scenery!
Additionally, regarding the price, we might be considered as big spenders, as someone didn't find a discounted price when booking and used the full price. It was only before the trip that I found out that because BMW was holding an event here, using many of the hotel's popular spots, there were supposed to be discounts, but unfortunately, someone was too honest, and when the hotel said no discount, then no discount it was!

There are 56 exquisite and comfortable suites and villas where you can enjoy the tranquility and serenity of a landscape painting;
The 35-meter-long infinity pool is an excellent spot for photography

Idyllic waterfall boat trip
A very nice slow boat trip through green water to very beautiful waterfalls. Along the way I saw a falcon circling the boat high in the sky. There were lots of birds chasing insects in the trees and also I saw a watersnake. The Chinese didn't find any of this interesting, they pulled all the curtains and took selfies instead and played Douyin. A private boat with no roof or curtains would be an excellent way to spend time here but I couldn't afford this been a solo traveler.
