Waterfalls hang over Qingchuan, bamboo rafts carry laughter past, Detian's landscape is sweet to the eye

Detian Waterfall + Qinzhou Sanniang Bay Pink Dolphin 3-Day Tour Guide 🌊🐬 This border coastal route connecting the transnational waterfall and pink dolphins is stunning, with a 3-day itinerary balancing majestic mountains and waters with ocean romance～ Day 1 Detian Waterfall Border Scenery Tour 💦 The scenic area is in Shuolong Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo. The 115 RMB combo ticket including admission and shuttle bus is a must-buy. Take the shuttle bus first to the panoramic waterfall viewing platform to see Detian Waterfall and Vietnam’s Ban Gioc Waterfall in the same frame, with karst peak forests as the backdrop—perfect for photos. Be sure to take the 48 RMB bamboo raft ride; paddling to the foot of the waterfall, the mist hits your face, and you can wave and interact with Vietnamese vendors. Then hike to the 836 boundary marker for a check-in photo; if you’re low on energy, choose the magic carpet + slide combo ticket to save effort going uphill. Don’t miss the nighttime waterfall light show, where lasers depict Zhuang ethnic myths in a magical way. Stay in Shuolong Town in the evening and enjoy Vietnamese spring rolls and chicken wrapped in banana leaves, all for about 50 RMB per person. Day 2 Countryside Transition + Head to Qinzhou 🚗 In the morning, go to Mingshi Countryside, about an hour’s drive from Detian. Rent a bike to ride along rice field paths or take a bamboo raft drift, watching morning mist swirl around the peak forests—just like the scenery in "The Journey of Flower." For lunch, try Zhuang ethnic five-color glutinous rice and turmeric chicken soup. Then drive to Qinzhou Sanniang Bay via highway, about 2.5 hours. Arrive at Sanniang Bay in the evening, stay in a seaside fishing village homestay, just a 5-minute walk to the beach. Watch the sunset’s afterglow on the sea, and book the next day’s dolphin-watching boat in advance with the homestay to avoid queues during peak season. Day 3 Encounter Pink Dolphins + Return ✨ April to October is the prime season for pink dolphin watching. Early morning from 6:30 to 9:00 is the dolphin feeding peak, with a very high chance of sightings. Choose an official scenic area tour boat, costing 80–150 RMB per person for 1–2 hours at sea. Remember to take seasickness medicine in advance and bring a telephoto lens and waterproof bag. When you see the pink dolphins, don’t shout loudly to avoid disturbing these “giant pandas of the sea.” After dolphin watching, eat seafood in the fishing village—charcoal-grilled oysters and sandworm porridge are incredibly fresh. In the afternoon, you can stroll the fishing village to buy dried seafood products before heading back. Practical Tips 📌 1. Turn off mobile data roaming when visiting Detian and prepare your ID card for border checks. 2. Wear a light jacket to protect against sea wind when watching dolphins; UV rays are strong by the sea, so don’t forget sun protection. 3. Self-driving is the most convenient throughout; the highway from Chongzuo to Sanniang Bay is in good condition, and the scenery along the way is beautiful.
