    Daxin.Detian waterfall/Shuolong Town
    84.1 km from downtown
    Highlights: The Detian Transnational Waterfall Attraction is located in Chongzuo City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on the China-Vietnam border. It spans two countries, China and Vietnam, and is more than 200 meters wide. It is Asia's leading waterfall, the world's second transnational waterfall, and one of the filming locations for the TV series "The Journey of Flower".The source of the waterfall is the Guichun River, the boundary river between China and Vietnam. It flows into Vietnam and then back to Guangxi, passing through Detian Village in Daxin County, and then falls from a cliff over 60 meters high in three levels, forming the magnificent landscape of Detian Waterfall. On the left side of the waterfall is the Ban Gioc Waterfall, which has a smaller amount of water in Vietnam. The two waterfalls, one large and one small, hang between the verdant cliffs, like a pair of close sisters.When visiting, you can walk to the plank road on the mountainside opposite the waterfall to see the panoramic view of the waterfall. If you want to see the waterfall up close, you can also take a bamboo raft on the shore to see the scenery and take pictures on the river. Because it is the boundary river between the two countries, it is equivalent to going abroad. On the river, you will also meet Vietnamese people paddling bamboo rafts to sell small things, which is quite interesting.Attractions in the Attraction:1. Detian ArchwayDetian Archway is known as the transnational gate. Entering here will also start your transnational journey. Is there anything special about the word "德" in the plaque? It turns out that more than a thousand years ago, "德" was like a polyphonic word. It was a multi-written word with two ways of writing, one with a horizontal line or without a horizontal line. This can be verified from the calligraphy of famous calligraphers in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.2. Bamboo rafts on the Boundary RiverTake the opportunity to step on the bamboo raft and leisurely float on the water to enjoy the charming natural scenery. The clear river water seems to pour down from the sky, and the splashing water mist sprinkles on your face. This sound is like a string of sultry notes, plucking everyone's heartstrings. Being in it is like walking in an ink painting, leisurely and free.2. 836 Boundary Monument836 boundary markers, the national border is an important part of a country and is sacred and inviolable. The determination of the national border and the drawing of the map are strictly regulated. Excluding the coastline/ocean border, China's land border alone is more than 22,000 kilometers long. You should know that the circumference of the earth's equator is only about 40,000 kilometers. Our country's land border is equivalent to half a circle around the earth. With such a long border line, how to determine the direction of the turns is a major problem.3. Detian TempleDetian Temple was built by the villagers of Detian Village in the 1980s to commemorate the Zhuang hero Nong Zhigao. Local people would come to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month to commemorate the hero, praying for peace and prosperity in the country and a good harvest.

    49.8 km from downtown
    Highlights: Dongnayuwan Attraction is located in Anping Village, Leiping Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, 180 kilometers away from Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, less than 20 kilometers away from the nearest highway exit, and 1 hour's drive downstream of Detian Cross-border Waterfall. The Attraction is rich in natural and cultural resources, pure and beautiful karst landscape, and rich and colorful Tusi, border, and Zhuang culture. The main landscapes are concentrated in the eight places of Water Fantasy, Guantian Farm, Swallow Cave, Xia Ke Inn Road, Longbitan, Waterfall Market, Water Forest Mystery, and Pohuang Island, known as the "Eight Scenic Spots of Dongnayuwan". The Attraction was successively rated as a Chinese original ecological Attraction in 2015 and a national 4A-level tourist Attraction and wetland park in 2017.Daxin is the "hometown of Chinese Tusi culture". Anping Village, where the Dongnayuwan Attraction is located, is the cultural heritage site of Daxin Tusi. The Anping Shizhou Ruins and Huixian Rock are important witnesses of Daxin Tusi culture. In the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1637), Xu Xiake traveled to Anping Tuzhou and recorded Anping Tuzhou in his "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes·Diary of Western Guangdong Journey 26", leaving precious historical records for the Attraction. Walking into the Anping Old Street, you can still feel the Tusi culture that has lasted for thousands of years and the customs and customs of the ancient Luoyue ancestors. The rich Zhuang folk customs such as Tusi welcoming etiquette, eight-tone drum music and dragon dance, Tuguan opening seals, and Nongdong Festival have been passed down, and some of them are reproduced in the Attraction in the form of performances.The Attraction is nurtured in the Heishui River basin with unique mountains and rivers. It gathers the essence of the unique mountains and beautiful waters in southwest Guangxi. It is known as the "Different Lijiang River" and the "Guishui Fairy River". It has been used as a filming location for many film and television dramas such as "The Journey of Flower" and "The Legend of Zu".Take a boat tour and walk around the Dongnayu Bay Attraction. You can see the mountains and islands in the distance by boat, and you can see the lingering forests and rocks up close when you go ashore. The eight scenes of "Dongnayu Bay" are the essence of the scenery and the essence of humanities.Water FantasySome people say that one-third of ancient Chinese poetry was written under the moon, one-third was written after drinking, and one-third was written on a boat. When tourists first board a painted boat, it seems like they are in a dream, as if they traveled back hundreds of years ago to travel here with Xu Xiake.Guantian FarmThe history is mainly told by restoring the chieftain's land division system - paddy fields, grave fields, river crossing fields, horse raising fields, horse grass fields, sedan chair fields, firewood fields, grain drying fields, stonemason fields, carpenter fields, building sweeping fields, flower growing fields... The name of each field corresponds to the corresponding position of the cultivator in the chieftain's family.Swallow CaveA cave, located next to the Tusi ancestral temple. The cave is naturally mottled with light and shadow, and swallows often build nests. Because swallows represent good luck, local people call it the Swallow Cave. It is also the place where Tusi meditates after monthly sacrifices. There is a flying stone above the cave entrance, which has remained motionless for thousands of years.Xia Ke Inn RoadThe uneven Xiake Inn Road is a good viewing point for viewing the Longbitan waterfalls. In the middle, a rubbing of the relevant records of Anping Prefecture in "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes·Diary of a Journey to Western Guangdong No. 26" is printed on the rocks as a commemoration.Longbi BeachOne of the core landscapes. Longbitan is a group of cascading waterfalls, distributed in the shape of a "heart". The flowing water is like white dragons passing through rocks and entering the river, cascading layer by layer, in a staggered manner. The expression varies with the change of water volume, sometimes turbulent and shocking, and sometimes delicate and gentle.Waterfall MarketAccording to legend, this was an important market place under the Tusi rule. This area was once a must-go place for the nearby indigenous residents to work, and it was close to the Tusi official fields. The threshing ground and the market place intersected together. Over time, various stalls and markets were set up along the riverside, and the waterfall market was formed.Water ForestThe extremely precious micro-stone forest landscape on the water. The strange rocks on the water have the spirit of the Lunan Stone Forest, and the stone-surrounded green lake has the color of Jiuzhai Lake. Under the bamboo forest, between the rocks, the river and the stones are all natural.Poh Huang Island"Pohuang" is the Chinese translation of Zhuang language, which means the emperor's wife. It is the "back garden of the hereditary chieftains" in Anping Prefecture. It is said that the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang, once stayed here with Queen Wang for one night, and later the villagers called this island Pohuang Island.
