Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot is located in Detian village, Shuolong town, Daxin county, Chongzuo and borders Northeast Vietnam's Cao Bang province. The waterfall is the biggest cross-border waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. It is usually divided into two separate waterfalls but sometimes merges together during the summer rain. Located on a 200 meter wide bluff, the waterfall is about 70 meters high, and its thrashing waters, which rush down a three-tiered cliff with tremendous force, are audible from quite a distance. Surrounded by karst formations, lush green vegetation, and fiery red kapoks, the waterfall is truly a sight to behold for any lover of nature.
