德天瀑布 Detian Waterfall - Guangxi 广西

On the border between China and Vietnam - May 2005. The highest trans-national waterfall in Asia (and probably fourth highest trans-national waterfall in the world behind Victoria Falls (100m - Zambia/Zimbabwe), Iguazu Falls (70m - Argentina/Brazil) and Niagara Falls (54m - Canada/USA)). Detian Waterfall obviously doesn't have the same water flow as these other great waterfalls but its still beautiful. The scenery in the surrounding area is also stunning with an abundance of Karst (limestone) hills like those in the background. Waterfall from another angle.

More photos from Guangxi province in southern China and its capital Nanning.

Yes, the waterfall is the highest trans-national waterfall in Asia. The river is the border but there is no border crossing as such.

What a fantastic place! Do the waterfalls join up during the rainy season? What a shame, no being allowed to swim here! both the lower & upper pools look very tempting! Great photo!
