About This Trip

This tour is ideal for those who want to visit the Detian Waterfall in Guangxi, China's southernmost province. Detian Waterfall is Asia's largest waterfall, straddling the international border between China and Vietnam. This scenic waterfall is surrounded by karst mountains and has a 200-meter-wide bluff that drops 70 meters. Visitors can hear the thunderous impact of the water on the cliffs from afar. The journey also includes stops in Bama and Jingxi, two lesser-known Guangxi counties with abundant natural and cultural resources.
