⚠️ Practical Tips
1. The best time to visit Detian Waterfall is during the high water season from June to October
2. Remember to bring your ID card in the border area; some attractions require border security checks
3. It is recommended to hire a car for travel (about 400 RMB/day) as transportation between attractions is inconvenient
4. When buying Vietnamese specialties, remember to bargain, usually about 30% off can be negotiated
