"Sacred Land of Changliu" — Detian Transnational Waterfall
Guangxi Detian Transnational Waterfall is not only rated as the most beautiful waterfall in China and the largest transnational waterfall in Asia but also the filming location of the hit fantasy drama “The Journey of Flower.” In the drama, Bai Zihua’s “Detached Palace” and the heavenly realm where the immortals reside — Changliu Mountain — are filmed here.
In autumn, the Detian Transnational Waterfall enters its most stunning golden season. The waterfall surges mightily into the Guichun River and then flows gently along the border between the two countries, nurturing a land of harvest — both mystical and down-to-earth.
