Detian Waterfall, Asia's largest transnational waterfall, boasts a unique natural beauty, with half belonging to China and half to Vietnam. The torrent cascades down a 70-meter cliff, its three cascades resembling the roar of a galloping horse and the roar of a water dragon. It was also the filming location for the Changliu Mountain fairyland in the TV series "The Journey of Flower." (During holidays, the Detian Scenic Area can be crowded, so the tour guide will adjust the order of the tour based on the day's availability. If there are long lines on the scenic area shuttle bus, please be patient and wait with your group.)

The entire scenic area is characterized by karst landforms, with strange peaks and rocks standing in rows and emerald green rivers winding through. When you take a boat through it, you feel like you are in a flowing landscape painting. It is known as the "Different Lijiang River" and the "Guishuixian River".
We took a boat to a small island in the scenic area, where there was a sea of flowers. We hiked along the scenic plank road (about 3 kilometers in total) back to the entrance of the scenic area. There were many scenes along the way to check in the beauty of this niche scenic area.
