General presentation
Detian et campagne de Mingshi
Border waterfalls, karst rivers and isolated pitons make up a spectacular rural landscape west of Nanning.
Detian Cascade, Mingshi Campaign and Mingshi Karst Pitons give the most telling landmarks of Detian and Mingshi campaign. Together, they form a destination where riverscapes, mountain reliefs, countryside and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

World Heritage
Paysage culturel de l’art rupestre de Zuojiang Huashan
In Zuojiang Huashan, red silhouettes painted on high cliffs dominate the rivers and karst reliefs of Guangxi. The scenes attributed to the Luoyue people, with human figures, drums and ritual gestures, are read from water or banks, in a setting where the wall becomes almost a ceremonial scene.
Waterfall
Cascade de Detian
A large multi-armed cascade marks the border between China and Vietnam. Season, wind and water levels greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
