Awe—inspiring Detian Waterfall

The flow of the Guichun River， a border river between Vietnam and China， is running slowly as many years ago， creating a variety of fantastic landscapes. On the way to Detian Waterfall， the view along the driving was pleasant， enjoying the fame of “art gallery along the hundreds of kilometers”.

Beauty unveils wherever you rest your soul and toe. In spring time， the flame-red kapok flowers scatter around the silver waterfall； in summer time， the waterfall is even more magnificent as the river lever is higher due to plenty of rainfall. Its water rushes down a three-tiered cliff with tremendous force. In fall， a vast expanse of golden trees around the waterfall stand before you. During winter， the waterfall has shrunk but still formed a graceful shape. At noon， when the sunlight shines on the pool， the waterfall is just like a silver glistening on the mountain， forming a dreamlike view. As night falls， the waterfall looks as a large water curtain. What a romantic world it is！

Below the waterfall， there is a large number of big fish in the pool. And the villagers living around here often catch fish here. Their glorious songs are echoing far across the hills as they cast the nets， creating a joyful， lively and carefree atmosphere on these occasions. The beauty of the Detian Waterfall is too numerous to mention one by one. Let us put aside all the noisy and annoying， and just get into the arms of the nature！

Intoxicating idyllic scenery in Mingshi

A village situated in the Daxin County is becoming active as the dawn comes， and the fog is becoming thinner and thinner. The Mingshi River full of twists and turns is charming， with green bamboo shore dotting here and there. Along the river， you can enjoy green bamboos， blue sky， clouds and hills. Birds are flying in the bamboo forest， the cocks are crowing and the dogs are barking from the farmhouses. It is really a picture-postcard scene.

You’ve probably not heard of the Mingshi Scenic Area before， but it has a lot to offer. Crowned as the “Small Guilin” for its green mountains and blue waters， Mingshi Scenic Area fascinates many cineastes. Grand film-shooting bases for the movie The Legend Love Story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and the television drama The Journey of Flower were once set up here. Legend has it that there was an evil dragon who was attracted by the landscapes of Guilin. After a short journey， he narrowed a part of Guilin’s landscapes by magic and wanted to take it back. However， the God of Heaven was angry and sent the Thunder God to kill the dragon. Afterwards， the scenery hidden in the dragon’s bag was falling down to Mingshi. Thus the natural scenery in Mingshi is as enchanting as Guilin.

Now let us slow our steps， speed up camera shots， and enjoy overt natural beauty. Let us free our boat along the Zuojiang River， digesting covert historic legend and fascinating sights near the southern border.
