Detian Transnational Waterfall Area/An Underrated Paradise on Earth

⬇️Detailed Travel Guide! 🍁1. Best Time to Visit: The high-water season is from May to October, while the low-water season runs from November to April. During the low-water season, water is released between 12 PM and 2-3 PM for better waterfall views. You can take a bamboo raft to experience the grand waterfall up close (30 yuan/person). 🔽2. Best Photography Route: Memorial arch - bamboo raft ride - Rice Field Cafe area - riverside walkway - three-level waterfall viewing platform - uphill (magic carpet/hiking) - observation deck - Sky Ring/Cliff Cafe - downhill (slide/hiking) - viewing platforms 1-6 - exit. 🔽3. Best Waterfall Photo Spots: First, Rice Field Cafe offers unobstructed eye-level views - perfect for photos! Visit before going uphill as you won't return here afterward. We unfortunately missed it. Second, viewing platforms 1-6 on the way out offer great panoramic views from high vantage points. Platform 3 is the best spot for 📷 photos. 🍁4. Uphill Routes: Must criticize the scenic area for poorly marked hiking trails due to promoting magic carpet and slide tickets. Actually, hiking up only takes 30 minutes and offers different waterfall views perfect for photos. During peak seasons, the magic carpet and slide have 2-hour queues, so consider hiking if you're physically able. 📱Best Photo Spots 🍼1. Wooden cabin at Rice Field Cafe - close-up view of the complete Detian Waterfall 2. Viewing Platform 6 on the downhill exit path - complete view of waterfalls from both countries from above 📱Travel Tips ⬇️- Boat rides will get you wet when experiencing waterfalls up close - wear raincoats ⬇️- Rice Field Cafe's location is excellent - worth going early to avoid queues for photos ⬇️- Arrive early in the morning to catch rainbows at the waterfall ⬇️- Try the Vietnamese food in the scenic area - good value. The chicken noodles at the entrance are also delicious - Wheelchair and stroller friendly with dedicated paths, but cannot access the bamboo raft dock 💰- Admission is 115 yuan (includes shuttle bus). If staying at the in-park guesthouses or Old Kapok Hotel, you can drive in directly without buying shuttle tickets 🍁- Accommodation options: Stay in Shuolong Town, Mingshi Pastoral Resort, or within the scenic area (convenient but basic conditions)
