Chongzuo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
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.

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.

The ancient city of Taiping in Guangxi was so beautiful that it overwhelmed me
I took a trip to Guangxi with friends, and apart from the incredibly delicious snail noodles, there were also incredibly beautiful landscapes. The first stop was the ancient city of Taiping in Chongzuo, and I was lucky enough to encounter a stunning sunset.
⭐ History of the ancient city:
The ancient city of Taiping in Chongzuo has a long history, with walls built in the fifth year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1372). At that time, the walls were made of earth. In the sixth year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the Left River flooded, collapsing more than 400 zhang of the city walls. Since the establishment of New China, due to the expansion of urban construction, the ancient city was demolished and leveled, and the bricks and stones were taken to pave the streets.
⭐ Brief description of the ancient city:
The entire scenic area revolves around themes such as Luoyue culture, Zhuang homeland culture, water culture, and sugar culture. The original site has been restored and expanded with an inner river, and the ancient city walls have been renovated. It is a 4A-level cultural tourism scenic area that can satisfy tourists' one-stop consumption experience of 'touring, shopping, playing, eating, lodging, and traveling', promoting the integrated development of commercial development with folk performances, technological management, and intangible cultural heritage inheritance.
⭐ Check-in spots:
✅ City Gate
The main entrance to Taiping Ancient City, which has undergone long historical changes. On the city gate tower with crisscrossing patterns preserved to this day, one can still see the marks of prosperity and stability from the past.
✅ Yifang Stage
The main stage for ethnic performances, mainly hosting Zhuang dance performances and other characteristic shows. The splendor of youth is ever-present, and the excitement is endless.
✅ Misty Rain Corridor
The Misty Rain Corridor, a covered street, allows pedestrians to pass without the worry of sun exposure or rain, and is a unique scenic line in the ancient city.
✅ Zhuang Enclosed Tower
The earthen enclosed tower is a unique large-scale residential form in the world, known as the treasure of traditional Chinese dwellings. Taiping Ancient City has moved the enclosed tower into the scenic area, named Zhuang Enclosed Tower.
✅ Shangxin Pavilion
Shangxin Pavilion is close to the lake's heart, and it interprets the water culture of Taiping Ancient City to the fullest.
✅ Zai Shui Bridge
On one side of the water, the bridge is close to the lake's surface, almost level with the water. At both ends are the Moonlight Square and Starlight Square, which reflect each other across the lake.
⭐ Tips:
There are many Hanfu and ethnic costumes for rent and photography inside, which are very photogenic. It is indeed very commercialized, with food, drink, and entertainment available. It will be crowded on holidays, and it is recommended to go on a sunny afternoon to see a beautiful sunset and sundown.

Taiping Ancient Town of Chongzuo
During the Taiping Xingguo period of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (976-984 AD), the Northern Song Dynasty established the Taiping Fort in the Left River Path, with its administrative center located in the Huxing Community of Taiping Street, Jiangzhou District, Chongzuo City, from which the name Taiping originated. Subsequently, during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, Taiping Road and Taiping Prefecture were established one after another, and the history has spanned over 1000 years. The ancient city is surrounded by the Left River on three sides, occupying unique natural resources. Relying on the beautiful mountains and rivers, the scenery is naturally formed. In the past, it was said, 'The beautiful water bends four times, surrounding three sides of the city, its shape is like a pot, hence the name Pot City.'

Decided! Go to this fun and less-known border town for the holiday
Guangxi's fun and less-known border town
You shouldn't be unaware of it
Zhang Xinyu's crazy recommendation of Guangxi Chongzuo is really tempting! With the so-called 'Little Southeast Asia' vibe, it has a cross-border waterfall with a fairy-tale atmosphere and pastoral scenery like a poetic karst landscape.
It's not an exaggeration, when the weather is good, even live shots on the phone are super beautiful. The most important thing is that both transportation and accommodation offer great value for money. Even less popular holiday trips can't avoid the crowd.
Below is a practical travel guide to avoid congestion, a worthy grab!
Transportation
Take a plane ✈️ to Nanning, then transfer to a high-speed train to Chongzuo or rent a car from Nanning and drive for 2 hours to reach.
PS: Chongzuo's public transportation is inconvenient, more suitable for self-driving tours.
