In Guangxi, buying tickets online the day before offers discounts, but not on the day of the visit. Some scenic spots even have locals offering to buy tickets for you at a cheaper price on the day. I don't recommend visiting Guangxi; the imagery of Guilin's landscape is an outdated concept. Going to Sichuan or Yunnan is much safer.

Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Shuotou Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on the upper reaches of the Guichun River on the China-Vietnam border. It is a transnational waterfall connecting China and Vietnam, linked to Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam. It is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world, with a width of approximately 200 meters and cascading in three sections, creating a magnificent spectacle. Detian Waterfall offers different scenery in each season: blooming flowers in spring, abundant water in summer, golden rice paddies in autumn, and crystal-clear water in winter. The scenery is spectacular and beautiful, making it a famous tourist destination. Visitors can also take a bamboo raft on the Guichun River to get a close-up view of the waterfall, making it a truly unforgettable experience. 🌹
