Detian Falls - the second largest waterfall in the world

Many one has Yangtze River tour tour and experience splendid landscape along the Yangtze River. But do you know the world's second-largest waterfall? It is Detian Falls in Guangxi Province.

What is it about waterfalls that encourages pride that verges on ludicrous? Hence Detian is proclaimed ‘the world’s second-largest waterfall along a national border’ – the gushing 200m-long stretch of cascades straddles China‘s Guangxi province and northern Vietnam (though China gets most of the flow). But you don’t come here for the stats, or the tremendous roar of the rushing water, or for the fun of snapping a photo of yourself at the border marker. You come because it’s gasp-inducingly beautiful: a verdant vision framed by looming karst outcrops and serene rice paddies.

Midsummer is the best time to appreciate the power of the flow; avoid winter, when the falls are relatively thin streams and fog dominates.
Guangxi is not far from Yunnan. If you have an interest in Shangri-La adventure, you can visit Yunnan by the way.
