Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin
County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is on
the upper reaches of the Guichun River at the border between China
and Vietnam. The waterfall is magnificent and spectacular, and it is
adjacent to the Vietnam Banjo Waterfall (“Bản Giốc & Đức Thiên”) is
the largest trans-Asian waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the
world. The average annual water flow is about three times that of
Guizhou Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is a national AAAAA tourist
attraction in China. It is also a location where “Liquor is Hometown
Alcohol” and “Hua Qian Bone” is amazing and wonderful.
In January 2016, the National Tourism Administration and the
Ministry of Environmental Protection proposed to identify the Dade
Tianjing District of Chongzuo City in Guangxi Autonomous Region as
a national ecotourism demonstration zone.
On October 17, 2018, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced
that it would meet the national 5A-level tourist scenic spot standards
and propose to make public announcements for the national 5A-level
tourist attractions. Among them, Detian Waterfall is listed.
Geological formation
The stratum of the Detian Waterfall is mainly the Middle Devonian
dolomitic limestone, which is a typical karst waterfall. The upper
reaches of the Guichun River flows through Vietnam. This section of
the river is a branching channel with a wide river bed, Duojiang
Xinzhou and Xintan. When approaching the Detian Waterfall, the
height difference between the river bed at the lower reaches of the
waterfall and the river bed at the top of the waterfall is about 6
meters. The river is the shortest path to reach the downstream water

3. surface, causing the water flow of the Guichun River to take the road
in the dolomite buds in the upper riverbed of the waterfall. It forms a
stone bud island such as Puyu Island. These river islands divide the
river into a number of streams that flow from different parts to the
cliffs of the waterfall, causing the waterfall to be multi-bundled.
Rock nature
The falling water cliff at Detian Waterfall is the dolomitic limestone
of the Middle Devonian Donggangling Formation, while the bottom of
the waterfall is the siltstone and mud of the lower Devonian gray-
green, yellow-green, and yellow-brown. Clastic rock formations such
as siltstone and shale. Clastic sandstone, argillaceous siltstone, shale
and other clastic rocks have poor erosion resistance and are easily
eroded by water flow, while dolomite is highly resistant to water
erosion and erosion, and the slope composed of thick layered
dolomite is stable, although Dolomite can be dissolved by water, but
its dissolution rate is slower, far less destructive than the erosion of
water flow, and the solubility of dolomite itself is not very strong.
In addition, the dolomite is more resistant than sand shale, and the
waterfall water erodes the base of the cliff, and the bottom of the cliff
is hollowed out, causing the steep cliff to collapse and collapse.
Therefore, the most concentrated part of the water flow is the most
erosive part (mostly a waterfall). The central part of the cliff has
more retreats, as is the Detian Waterfall. For example, the fourth

4. stage of the waterfall has a chair-like shape, and the first-level
waterfall is the same.
Rock formation
The site is located in the west wing of the Sichengling anticline, the
Guichun River is controlled by the northwest-south east direction
structure, and the faults in the northeast-southwest direction are also
active nearby. Under the influence of these fault activities, the
occurrence is gentle (5°). The thick layer dolomite joint fissures of
~8°) develop, and the water flow uses the joint fissure as the channel
for its own migration, and expands these fissure surfaces, so that the
rock formation forms a steep cliff along the fissure surface. In
addition, due to the relatively developed layer cracks in the rock
formation, the upper rock mass is easily damaged, thus forming a
multi-level cliff and multi-level waterfall surface.
At Detian Waterfall, Dolomite is located on the upper part of the
siltstone with poor erosion resistance and upstream of the first
water. At the same time, the formation of the rock layer is gentle, so
that the water flow can be distributed smoothly on the steep cliff
surface, which is easy to form the waterfall surface. More wide
waterfalls, such as Detian Waterfall.

5. Structural features
The natural slope of the Guichun River Valley is relatively large. The
flow from the Putang Island to the Loudi Power Station in the upper
reaches of Detian Waterfall is 18.93 kilometers. The water level falls
by 190 meters, the hydraulic slope drops to 1%, and small water falls
in the river valley. The flow rate is fast, and it has a strong erosion
effect on the bottom of the river, which is conducive to the formation
of the waterfall. The Detian Waterfall Cliff was originally a crack in
the river and gradually developed into a spectacular waterfall due to
the difference in lithology.

6. Water flow
The flow of the Guichun River is relatively large, and the average
annual flow rate is about 50 cubic meters per second. It has a strong
erosion effect on the riverbed and is beneficial to the formation of the
waterfall.
Morphological characteristics
The returning area of the Guichun River is about 2,200 square
kilometers, of which the rainfall area in Vietnam is 505 square
kilometers, with an average annual flow of 55.20 cubic meters per
second. The return of the Guichun River bed is 243 meters. The
largest of these is the Detian Waterfall, which forms a four-level
natural waterfall. Detian Waterfall is 100 meters wide and is divided
into three levels of waterfalls. The vertical height is more than 70
meters. It originates from Guangxi Guichun River and has water all
year round. Detian Waterfall is connected to the Banjo Waterfall in
Vietnam. The two waterfalls in the rainy season are integrated into
one, with a total width of 208 meters.

7. Natural environment
Detian Waterfall is located in the upper reaches of the Guichun River
in Daxin County, about 50 meters away from the border pillar of
China-Vietnam border. The clear Guichun River is a tributary of the
Zuojiang River and the border river of the Sino-Vietnamese border.
The Detian Waterfall is a masterpiece when it flows through Putang
Island. The mighty returning spring water flows from the north, and
the high cliffs of the three-storey Putang Island are screaming and
swaying. The river rises down from the cliffs of more than 50 meters
and hits the rock. Splashes of water, misty fog, distant looks like
squatting, close-up view like flying beads splashing jade, through the
refraction of the sun, colorful, the sound of the water, the river
valley, the momentum is very strong. The waterfall falls at three
levels, with a maximum width of more than 200 meters, a depth of
more than 60 meters, a drop of more than 70 meters, and an average
annual flow of 50 cubic meters per second. The geology of the site is
thick layered dolomite. It is the largest natural waterfall in Southeast
Asia and has been designated as a special attraction by the country. It
is connected to the Banjo Falls in Vietnam, like a pair of close sisters.
The Chinese and Vietnamese border people are carrying out border
trades in the lower reaches of the waterfall. They used to be
shoulder-to-shoulder.

8. History and culture
In a place bordering Vietnam in the southwestern border of China, the
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region does not know when it will flow
from a clear river. No matter the four seasons, she is always green
and clear, and she is as simple as a girl in the mountains. People give
her A beautiful name – Guichun River.
The Guichun River flows quietly to Vietnam, and then wanders back
to Guangxi. In the end, it is in the small town of Shuolong. After a
long silence, the power broke out instantly, breaking through the
thousands of rocks and rushing out of the blockade of the high cliffs
and green trees. The border between China and Vietnam has been
drawn. Perhaps it is the nature of nature. The sag of the river hangs
down from the cliff of more than 60 meters, hitting the layers of rock,
the stream is winding, the water is splashing, the water mist is lost,
and the distance looks like a sag. In the sky, the close view is like a
flying bead splashing jade, through the refraction of the sun, the
colorful, the sound of the water, the river valley, inadvertently
formed another fascinating miracle: the world’s fourth, Asia’s largest
cross-country waterfall – Detian Waterfall. Therefore, from the day
when the Detian Waterfall was created, it became the most
passionate expression of Guichun River.
Detian Waterfall is connected with the Banjo Waterfall in Vietnam. It
is like a pair of close sisters, Tingting, standing together. The eyes
pierced the misty mist, and I saw the Iraqi people. On the water side,
the waist wrapped around the spring river like a jade belt, and the
first hair fell to the Chaohu Lake. Eyebrow teasing. This is really a
poetic romantic and elegant place, step by step is the scene,

9. everywhere is affectionate. People are among them, if you paint in
the middle, there is no side to heart, no dust. I only want to find a
green grass, where the torrents are, cover a thatched house, plant a
few peach trees, plow a few acres of land, and watch the flowering
branches burning, imitating the elegance of Tang Caizi. Hold the
hand, set the wine cellar and the hermit.
Honors
On October 23, 2005, China’s most beautiful local rankings were
released in Beijing. The event was hosted by China National
Geographic and co-organized by the 34 media outlets in China. The
“Best Place in China” selection campaign lasted for 8 months, and the
“Expert Group”, “Media Group” and “Network Phone” were selected.
Popularity group three categories of awards. The “Media Group” and
the “Popular Group” each produced 12 award-winning places in the
form of media voting and voting by netizens and mobile phone users.
The “Expert Society Group” awards, which were launched by China
National Geographic magazine, are unique. They are divided into
mountains, lakes, forests, grasslands, deserts, Yadan landforms,
islands, coasts, waterfalls, glaciers, canyons, urban areas, rural
towns, There are 15 types of tourist caves, marshes and wetlands.
Among the six most beautiful waterfalls in China, Detian Waterfall is
among them.

10. On October 17, 2018, the National Tourism Resources Planning and
Development Quality Evaluation Committee made a public
announcement, and it was proposed to identify 9 scenic spots such as
the Chongzuo Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot as a
national 5A-level tourist scenic spot.
Tourism Development
Tourist route
Every day at 9:00 am, there is a tourist express bus departing at
Fengling Passenger Transport Station (next to Nanning East Railway
Station). The whole journey takes the expressway, and it takes 3.5
hours to reach the tourist center of the scenic spot. At 4 o’clock in the
afternoon, it returns to Nanning from the scenic spot.
Every day at 9:00 am, there is a tourist hotline at the Nanning East
Railway Station, which can go directly to the gate of the scenic spot.
However, there are restrictions on time and must be returned at 3:30
pm. If you can’t catch up, you can take a bus to Daxin County Bus
Station.
Every day, there are many trains from Nanning Peking University Bus
Terminal to Daxin County. After arriving in Daxin, they will transfer
to Detian Scenic Area.
The German antenna is a relatively mature tourism route. The day

11. trip from Nanning is usually between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning.
The price is about 200 yuan. It is convenient to go directly to the
scenic spot. The price of the two-day tour ranges from 200 yuan to
more than 500 yuan. All-inclusive and half-packages are available.
Generally, the Mingshi Garden or the Tongling Grand Canyon will be
visited on the basis of Detian Waterfall.
Self-driving tour
From Nanning, take the 324 National Road (Fuqian Line) westbound
to Tanlu and turn left to Daxin, go to Shuolong Town, and then go for
more than 10 kilometers. The scenery is bright and there are eye-
catching tourist directions along the road. The card leads the way. In
particular, driving along the Heishui River, Mingshi Garden, that list
of pastoral, Duxiu Peak, Wuzhifeng, Xianshan Yaochi, water stone
forest and many other beautiful scenery is known as the “Grand
English Club Detian”, let people walk in the landscape gallery The
true feelings in the middle.

(including 1.5 meters): 40 yuan / person, height 1.2 meters (including
1.2 meters) below free; Daxin local tourists tickets: 10 yuan.
Tour time
The best time to visit Detian Waterfall: From June to November every
year, the water is large and the water quality is clear due to the rainy
season. It is the best time to enjoy the waterfall roaring like a horse.
The Detian Waterfall has plenty of water in the summer and the
surrounding vegetation is lush.
From December to May, it is a dry season. During this period, the
amount of water in the waterfall is small, and the earth and stone in

12. the waterfall are more exposed, and the viewing effect will be greatly
reduced.
