Detian-Banyue Falls, China - Vietnam
From series “Most Fanciful Waterfalls of the Planet”Height: 30 meters.
On the border between China and Vietnam is the picturesque Detian-Banyue Falls, which is long considered a landmark of world importance. The height of the waterfall is 30 meters. It consists of three cascades which are divided into many separate streams by trees and stones. The waterfall looks simply incredible, and the thunder produced by it can be heard at a considerable distance. All the power of the Detian-Banyue waterfall can be estimated during the flood period. And when it is completed, the waterfalls located in different states are divided into two.
The unusual waterfall has its own secret. A small road, which leads to a stone, passes over it. On this stone the border between Vietnam and China was designated. According to one of the assumptions, the stone in this place was established in 1979. Many tourists are mainly interested in the lower part of the waterfall, where viewing platforms and beautiful recreation areas were equipped. Here are several small hotels, cozy restaurants and cafes, as well as souvenir shops.
