Detian Falls china

#getgoing2025 Chongzuo, a hidden gem in south China's Guangxi, boasts the spectacular Detian Falls. These are no ordinary falls: They cascade in layers, creating a mesmerizing multi-level marvel. The thundering waters plunge down, surrounded by lush greenery, while misty spray catches sunlight, forming vivid rainbows on sunny days. It's a pure visual symphony of nature's grandeur. Straddling the China-Vietnam border, the area offers travelers a unique cross-border experience. Over thousands of years, the waterfall has eroded its crest and slowly moved upstream. It currently appears to be two waterfalls most of the time, but when the river is swollen due to summer rains can form one fall again. In Vietnamese, the two falls are considered as two parts of one waterfall with the sole name Bản Giốc. The two parts are thác chính (Main waterfall) and thác phụ (Subordinate waterfall). Chinese texts sometimes name both of the water falls as Détiān Falls on the Chinese side.
