Features: In the southwestern part of Guangxi, where China borders Vietnam, there is a very charming waterfall, one of the most famous waterfalls in Guangxi—Detian Waterfall. Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Shuolong Township, Daxin County. It is 78 kilometers away from the county seat. There, the mountains are layered and lush, with dense forests. The water flows down from Putang Island, which borders Vietnam and is 80 meters high, in a series of cascades, forming three tiers. The waterfall spans 120 meters in width, is about 70 meters high, and extends about 60 meters in depth. The water curtains resemble strings of pearls hanging deep in the mountains, or like silk scrolls hung before the cliffs. Due to its great drop, it produces a thunderous roar that is awe-inspiring and can be heard clearly even a kilometer away. The splashing water droplets flutter before the mountains, creating a white mist within 100 meters that lingers year-round. On sunny days, the mist is colorful and dazzling, as if one has stepped into a mystical, dreamlike realm. The surrounding mountains are dotted with terraced fields, and next to them are the stone mountains of the China-Vietnam border. The stone mountains are covered with towering, lush trees, especially the large, straight-trunked, shade-providing trees, which are particularly majestic. Below the roaring waterfall lies a deep pool, over 30 meters deep and more than 200 meters wide. The pool is home to a variety of fish, which are fat and flavorful. The local farmers often go fishing in the pool, and their fishing boats drift beneath the waterfall, enhancing its poetic and vibrant beauty. The rugged mountain songs of the fishermen blend with the roar of the waterfall, creating a melodious mountain song. Such a beautiful landscape—who wouldn’t be captivated? Who wouldn’t yearn for it? Everyone who has seen Detian Waterfall is amazed by this magnificent spectacle. Immersed in the "Gallery of Mountains and Waters," every corner is a painting. You will truly experience the magical feeling of "cars driving through paintings, people wandering in paintings," and feel the essence of "traversing green mountains, but remaining young at heart, with the best scenery here." It is truly said, "After visiting Detian, no other paintings are needed!"
