Detian Transnational Waterfall
德天跨国瀑布 · Guangxi, Chongzuo
Asia's largest transnational waterfall, straddling the China–Vietnam border in a karst valley.
Detian Waterfall thunders down a wide, three-tiered cliff on the Guichun River, which forms the border between China and Vietnam. Lush karst peaks frame the falls, and bamboo rafts take visitors close enough to feel the spray. Together with the adjacent Ban Gioc falls in Vietnam it forms one of the great cross-border waterfalls.
The waterfall sits on a long-established frontier river in a remote, mountainous region of Guangxi long home to Zhuang ethnic communities. Developed for tourism in the 2000s, it is now a national 5A scenic area and a symbol of the karst borderlands, visited for its scale and its unusual transnational setting.
