Situated on the border between China and Vietnam, Detian Waterfall is Asia’s largest and the world’s fourth-largest transnational waterfall. From July to November each year during the rainy season, the river is full and the water is clear. At this time, Detian Waterfall connects with the nearby Vietnamese Ban Gioc Waterfall, making it the best season to witness the roaring cascade as if a thousand horses were galloping, and to feel the majestic power of nature.

Although the base of Detian Waterfall is remote, it still attracts millions of visitors from China and Vietnam every year. The waterfall stretches approximately 208 meters in length with a drop of about 60 meters. The surging waters and unique rock formations create a spectacular landscape. On a clear, sunny day, you might even spot a beautiful rainbow appearing in front of the falls.
