A visit to Detian Transnational Waterfall reveals the true awe-inspiring nature of "Asia's No. 1 Transnational Waterfall." This spectacular sight, straddling the China-Vietnam border, uses the Guichun River as its natural boundary. On the Chinese side, Detian Waterfall is majestic and powerful, while on the Vietnamese side, Ban Gioc Waterfall is delicate and graceful—a striking contrast, painting a magnificent ink-wash landscape. Approaching on a bamboo raft, the three-tiered waterfall cascades down like a white ribbon, the roar deafening, the spray refreshingly cool despite dampening clothes. Climbing to the viewing platform, a 200-meter-wide curtain of water plunges into the pool below. When sunlight pierces through the mist, it creates a rainbow bridge, bringing to life a scene straight out of a fantasy drama. The scenic area holds many surprises: the swings in the rice paddy cafe offer perfect shots of the waterfall and lush greenery, while the old Boundary Marker No. 53 silently tells the story of the border region. Strolling along the forest boardwalk, the air is filled with the refreshing negative ions, surrounded by karst peaks—every snapshot is a masterpiece, needing no filter. From the close-up impact of the bamboo raft to the panoramic view from the mountaintop, every aspect of Detian Waterfall is captivating, truly deserving of its reputation as the most moving natural gift on the China-Vietnam border.

The scenery is beautiful. Tickets for Route B bamboo rafts purchased on Ctrip one day in advance cost 135 yuan, while tickets for Route B on the day of the rafting cost 145 yuan. Tickets for Route A cost 120 yuan, and Route B costs 160 yuan if purchased on-site.

Dongnayu Bay is definitely worth a visit. It's easily accessible by car or public transport. The Longbitan Waterfall Group here is stunning, with a considerable width and powerful flow. It's not crowded, allowing you to leisurely enjoy the natural scenery, stroll along the bay, feel the sea breeze on your face, and experience a wealth of unique experiences. It's a perfect place to relax, reconnect with nature, and unwind.

Huashan Rock Paintings—China's 49th World Cultural Heritage site and the first rock painting heritage site in my country, as well as Guangxi's first World Heritage site—have existed for over 2000 years. Their vibrant colors make them a true marvel. Regarding the non-driving journey from Chongzuo to Huashan Rock Paintings: We bought bus tickets on Ctrip for 35 RMB per person. The bus departed from Chongzuo International Distribution Center (not the one near the South Station) at 7:50 AM. Perhaps due to fewer people, they used 11-seater buses, and it took about 40 minutes to reach the visitor center. We had plenty of time, just in time to catch the first boat, but we chose to spend some time at the visitor center, exploring the exhibition halls and the surrounding environment, which was very beautiful. We also enjoyed Zhuang ethnic song and dance performances and a Tianqin (a traditional stringed instrument) performance in front of the boat, all free of charge. The rock paintings themselves are free, but you need to take a boat to see them, which costs 90 RMB per person. We chose the 10:30 AM boat, and the scenic area provides shuttle service to the pier. The round trip takes 2 hours, with 1 hour spent viewing the paintings (there is a guide on board who leads the tour and provides explanations along the way). After returning from the boat at 1:30, I learned that there is a bullet train from Ningming East to Chongzuo at 15:47, which costs 10 yuan for 10 minutes. The scenic area also has a free shuttle bus to Ningming East at 14:30 (about 30 minutes). There are enough buffer times at each time, which is suitable for leisurely strolling around.

Overall, I'd give a perfect score of five to the staff. From their explanations and service to their constant reminders, everything they did showed their care for this precious species of white-headed langur. Don't have too high expectations for the pristine karst landscape and vast sugarcane fields; it's all for the animals' natural habitat.

The ice cave is crystal clear and colorful, very beautiful. The stalactites in the Dragon Palace Cave are all kinds of strange and impressive. You can also take a comfortable two-person car for sightseeing.

The free ancient city is newly built and commercialized, but since it is free for you to come and play, it is better than those domestic ones that are enclosed and charge fees. It is recommended to come in the evening, the night view is several levels higher than the daytime, and there are performances if you catch the weekend.
