Early! Early! You can take a magic carpet up the mountain to the viewing platform, and slide down the mountain, which is thrilling and fun, and can save a lot of time! Personal suggestion: You must take a bamboo raft, it's a 'cross-border experience' without leaving the country! Mingshi Pastoral: This is an area centered around Mingshi Village, surrounded by pastoral fields, with the Mingshi River running through it, and a forest of karst peaks.

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).

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 best place to appreciate the Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area is undoubtedly close to the waterfall itself. Strolling along the winding paths, surrounded by lush greenery, feeling the warmth of the breeze on your face, wandering among the rippling blue waves, looking down at the torrential cascade, it's like the Milky Way falling from the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring. In addition, you can also watch the spectacular view of the waterfall up close through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. With meticulous details and interlacing light and shadows, the dreamlike color changes capture the beautiful and unique scenery. This is a prime spot for waterfall viewing, top-notch in every aspect from perspectives to lighting. Come to the Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area and experience this magnificent natural spectacle!

🌿 Hidden in Guangxi's mysterious fairyland, I have finally found it! This is none other than the majestic and enchanting Detian Cross-Border Waterfall. Not only is it a filming location for 'The Journey of Flower', but it is also the largest cross-border waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world, showcasing the miraculous work of nature. 💦 The Detian Waterfall, like a flowing scroll of art, tightly connects the landscapes of China and Vietnam. Standing beneath the waterfall, you can feel the awe of the cascading water, the refreshing mist on your face, as if you are in a fairyland. Take a bamboo raft to admire the splendor of the waterfall up close, where every droplet tells the magical story of nature. 🛶 📸 Don't forget to check in at the No. 53 boundary marker!

If you also long for this fairyland, why not come in person to experience the charm of nature and get up close with the beautiful scenes from 'The Journey of Flower'? 🌈🌈🌈

As the only cross-border waterfall in the country, Detian Waterfall is still worth a visit. It is recommended to plan your arrival time in the afternoon or evening, stay overnight at Detian Village at the entrance of the scenic area, and visit the scenic area the next morning. After booking a hotel in Detian Village, you can drive into the scenic area, where parking costs 30 yuan, without time limit. The night view of Detian Village, like a low-end version of Hongya Cave, is somewhat brilliant and charming. The streets are filled with the sounds of vendors speaking Mandarin with a Guangxi accent, along with Vietnamese-style goods, bringing an exotic experience. The prices are acceptable, and the locals I met were very down-to-earth. At the hotel where I stayed, the merchandise counter was unattended, and you just take what you need and pay for it. For breakfast, I had chicken rice noodles outside, and the owner said I was the first customer, so he gave me a discount of 5 yuan. Winter is the dry season for Detian Waterfall, and after 11 a.m., Vietnam will release water to increase the flow of the waterfall, so there is no need to enter the scenic area too early in winter. After entering the scenic area, first walk to the left, where you can choose to take a bamboo raft to get close to the waterfall. Half of Detian Waterfall belongs to Vietnam, so maybe by taking a bamboo raft, you'll have technically been abroad. At Tongguo Square, on the left is the Sino-Vietnamese style street and the entrance to the Skywalk, and on the right is the viewing platform and exit. If you go to the Skywalk, you will also circle back to the viewing platform on the right. Taking the magic carpet to the Skywalk and the slide down the mountain, the on-site ticket is 78 yuan. The so-called magic carpet is just a conveyor belt used in factories. I had only seen belts transporting ore before, but this time it was an eye-opener to see belts transporting people. Due to the angle, you can't see the waterfall from the Skywalk, only the mountains and villages of Vietnam. This ordinary scenery is common in Guangxi, so I didn't take a single photo. The Skywalk is just a chicken rib, it's not worth going up, but since you're here, you might as well. If you go up, there's really nothing to see. If you have plenty of time, are not afraid of getting tired, and want to save money, you can walk up to the Skywalk from the exit of the slide without spending any money. On the way back, there are several viewing platforms. When you reach a mall marked 'Exit', don't go in just yet. The last viewing platform is behind and to the side of the mall, and it's easy to miss. This is the viewing platform with the widest view, perfect for taking photos with the waterfall. Additionally, drones are not allowed in the scenic area, which is a real pity, but in Detian Village, I didn't see any signs prohibiting drones, so—

I'm starting to understand why Li Bai enjoyed wandering through mountains and rivers so much. The waterfall is too beautiful from different angles and under different lighting! Stunning!!! You have to see it with your own eyes to truly appreciate its magnificence!!! Even someone like me, who prefers to lounge in the hotel rather than explore scenic spots, felt that the trip was worthwhile. Despite the scorching sun and being drenched in sweat, I happily completed the entire route.
