You can always trust the breathtaking scenery of Guangxi. Here are some must-visit places in Chongzuo:

• Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area: Located in Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin County, this waterfall system straddles China and Vietnam, ranking as Asia's largest transnational waterfall. Capture both Chinese and Vietnamese waterfalls in one frame using your phone's wide-angle lens from the observation deck, or fly a drone at the 2km downstream bend of Guichun River. During rainy season, wear water shoes to wade across shallow waters and touch the Vietnamese waterfall cliffs. Don't miss the waterfall light show at 20:30 on Fridays and Saturdays.
• Mingshi Pastoral: Filming location for "The Journey of Flower," situated along County Road 532 in Daxin County, featuring serene countryside views and unique karst landscapes. Enjoy cycling through sugarcane fields to Qiwang Mountain for morning mist "karst peak matrix" photos, or mountain bike from Longpeng Village across Nayi River to reach the Zhuang ethnic group's ancient paper-making workshop.
• Friendship Pass Scenic Area: Located at Nan-You Expressway in Pingxiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone, one of China's Nine Great Passes and the only still-operational border gate. Rent Republic-era student uniforms for historical photos in front of French-style buildings, buy Vietnamese dong as photo props, or arrive by 7am to secure the best vantage point at Golden Rooster Mountain Fort for observing China-Vietnam railway cargo train track changes.
• Taiping Ancient City: At No.2 Taiping Road, Jiangzhou District, this 1000-year-old site blends Ming Dynasty culture with modern Zhuang culture, sugar culture, and water culture, offering cultural experiences, leisure activities, and slow-living vacations.

Food Recommendations:
• Zhuang Ethnic Cuisine: Try the Zhuang bamboo tray feast featuring five-color sticky rice, roast chicken, cured meats, and vegetables. Other specialties include Mingshi pearl duck, Zhuang chieftain banquet, and kapok flower soup.
• Vietnamese Flavors: Authentic Vietnamese fare like crispy baguettes with meats/vegetables, and fresh spring rolls with shrimp and dipping sauce.

Accommodation Options:
• Luxury: Lux* Chongzuo Resort with elegant design and mountain views.
• Boutique: Wild Luxury Vacation Villa's Southeast Asian-style mushroom houses, or Mingshi Elegant Residence with infinity pool amidst karst landscapes.
