This is not Southeast Asia. Chongzuo truly amazed me

Even a small border town like Chongzuo can offer great excitement! A 3-day, 2-night border charm trip to unlock the stunning hidden gems of the China-Vietnam border 🚩 🚗 Best Route Day 1: 📍 Detian Transnational Waterfall: Asia's largest transnational waterfall. Be sure to take a bamboo raft to experience the breathtaking mist up close! (Ticket 115 RMB) 📍 Mingshi Pastoral: Drift on a bamboo raft through the karst landscape painting, and remember to try authentic bamboo tube rice at local farmhouses (many around Mingshi Village) Accommodation suggestion: Stay in Shuolong Town, where you can also enjoy the waterfall night light show Day 2: 📍 Youyiguan Pass: One of China's nine famous passes. Climb the city wall to overlook Vietnam territory (Pass gate ticket 42 RMB) 📍 Puzhai Border Trade City: A small goods market full of Vietnamese style, recommended to buy some Vietnamese coffee and slippers 📍 Zuojiang Leaning Tower: One of the world's eight leaning towers, with very interesting photo angles (Jiangbin Road, Chongzuo city center) Day 3: 📍 Huashan Rock Paintings: Mysterious millennium cliff paintings, accessible by boat (advance booking of a guide recommended) 📍 White-headed Leaf Monkey Reserve: The only habitat of about a thousand white-headed leaf monkeys worldwide (best seen before 9 AM) 🍜 Authentic Food ✅ Boji Banquet: Specialty farmhouse dishes at Mingshi Pastoral, a combination of bamboo tube rice + river fish + wild vegetables ✅ Vietnamese Chicken Pho: The most authentic at Ayan Pho Shop near Youyiguan Pass ✅ Grilled Pig Eyes: For the adventurous, try this border specialty barbecue ⚠️ 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
