Boundary Marker No. 53

Boundary Marker No. 53 is located within the Detian Waterfall scenic area. Erected in 1896 by the Qing government, the marker bears the inscription "China Guangxi Boundary" along with French text (Vietnam was then a French colony). The land in front of the marker belongs to Vietnam, while the land behind it is Chinese territory. The 100-meter area in front of and behind the marker serves as a border buffer zone where passage is permitted. Due to years of weathering, the marker shows signs of wear, which add to its sense of history.
