Southwest Guangxi 鈥 Baise and Chongzuo 

You can find 12 petals on the silk ball, which represent the 12 months of a year.


And each flower is of four petals indicating the four seasons.

The embroideries on the silk ball are mostly birds, flowers and characters of auspicious meaning.


Before leaving Jingxi county, don鈥檛 forget to pay a visit to Goose Spring park. Here you can get in touch with the true essence of pastoral landscape.

the water is so green that it鈥檚 almost surreal. And I was told if the fish jump out I could have good luck for the rest of the year. And there was a fish jumping out just now.

Feeding and watching fish and duck in the goose spring park is a good way to spend an afternoon.

the water is so beautiful, you can see right through the bottom. The water of this lake all comes from an underground spring.

Like many other lovely places, goose spring also got a legendary origin.

It goes like a local grandma saved two magical goose eggs one day, and was later repaid with this amazing spring that solved the water problem.

Sitting on the bamboo raft, surrounded by the blue sky, white clouds, green water, Karst hills, and cute ducks, I did feel a magical touch at this place.

Bidding farewell to Baise, I am on my way to the second destination city, Chongzuo.


This waterfall is called Detian waterfall. The location of the waterfall is very unique. It sits on the border of China and Vietnam. This is definitely the most beautiful waterfall I鈥檝e ever seen.

Located in Daxin county of Chongzuo, it is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia. The part on the Vietnamese side is called Banyue waterfall, and the part on the Chinese side is called detain waterfall.

Consisting of three tiers, the waterfall looks like a huge potted landscape from afar. Detian waterfall is as wide as 120 meters and as tall as 70 meters.

The water flows to the Guichun river, the border river of China and Vietnam at Chongzuo.

You can get very intimate with the waterfall despite its imposing momentum.

Taking a bamboo raft, approaching the breathtaking waterfall, I challenge you to find a better water show than this.

Detian has the largest water volume in summer. It is said the annual water volume is three times that of the largest waterfall in China.
