The project starts at Pingtang Jiangkou in the Xijiang Reservoir area of Hengzhou, Nanning, passes through Luwu Town in Lingshan County, Qinzhou along the Qin River, and enters the Beibu Gulf, spanning 134.2 km. The entire route is constructed according to the Class I inland waterway standard, capable of accommodating 5,000-ton vessels. The primary development task focuses on shipping, combined with water supply, irrigation, flood control, and improving the aquatic ecological environment.

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot
The Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot is located on the upper reaches of the Guichun River along the China-Vietnam border in Guangxi. Here, the boundary river meets a cliff, cascading down in three tiers with a width of over 200 m and a drop of more than 70 m, facing Vietnam's Ban Gioc Waterfall across the cliff. During the rainy season, the two waterfalls nearly merge into one, and their roar can be heard across the valley. This site also served as a filming location for the TV series The Journey of Flower. The highlights of the visit mostly revolve around this border river: after passing through the Detian memorial archway, known as the "transnational gate," you can take a bamboo raft from the shore to the foot of the waterfall, looking up as the curtain of water crashes down from the cliff top, with mist spraying onto your face—effectively "traveling abroad" on the border river. On the river, you'll often encounter Vietnamese locals paddling small bamboo rafts to sell coffee, dried fruit, and other goods, and the haggling adds a fun cross-border market vibe. After disembarking, follow the waterfall-viewing boardwalk and multi-level observation decks to admire the waterfall's full panorama from different heights. Boundary markers No. 53 (erected during the Qing Dynasty and inscribed with "Guangxi, China") and No. 836 are popular photo spots. Along the boardwalk, you'll also find Detian Temple, built by villagers in the 1980s to commemorate the Zhuang historical figure Nong Zhigao—worth a quick visit. The waterfall view varies significantly with water volume: during the summer peak season, the water is torrential and awe-inspiring, while it appears more delicate in the dry season; the bamboo raft dock has long queues in peak season, so it's advisable to arrive early for a close-up view of the waterfall; the rafts get quite misty, so remember to waterproof your phone and camera.China · Daxin

This summer vacation, I took my children and my two families to Hengxian to see the jasmine flowers. We set off from Nanning in the morning. Because of the late departure time, it was already noon when we arrived in Hengxian. After eating, we went to Xijin Lake first, and then went to the Chinese Jasmine Garden.
Hengxian is not a big place, but it is very famous for eating sashimi. Our two families did not have the courage to try it. We ordered home-cooked dishes and ate until we were full.
The planting area of the Chinese Jasmine Garden is not small, it can be said to be endless. I only knew that jasmine flowers were white before, and I never thought that jasmine flowers also have pink and yellow. The strange thing is that when walking in the jasmine fields, I didn’t smell the fragrance of jasmine flowers. Also, seeing a small house in the flower field made us guess what it was used for. In the end, I guessed it right. It was used to hide from the sun. Did you guess it right?

1. I never went during my years studying in Nanning, but thanks to my son, I got to visit. It was tiring, but incredibly fun. A great place for families where kids can burn off energy while adults stay entertained.
2. It was during summer vacation, so it was quite crowded. The only regret was not getting a chance to take photos with the giant water lilies. My son keeps talking about it, saying he'll definitely go earlier next time to queue.
3. The best route is to take the sightseeing bus directly to the top of the mountain and then walk down, which is less tiring.

Detian Waterfall in Chongzuo, Guangxi, is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia, connected to the waterfall on the Vietnamese side. It's truly spectacular, with a thunderous roar when the water volume is high. A close-up tour on a bamboo raft is a breathtaking experience. Along the boardwalk, there are many other scenic spots and viewing platforms overlooking the waterfall.

I was very satisfied with my two-day trip to Meizhou Island. Renting an electric car to explore the island was a lot of fun. Crocodile Mountain is really beautiful. I recommend arriving around 4 pm when it's not too sunny. You can spend two hours there and catch the last shuttle bus. I also really liked the spot at Dripstone Screen, where I saw the sunset, which was perfect.

We can't see jasmine flowers blooming in this season, but the whole park is still very cultural, and combining flowers with culture is also a big attempt in the local area. There are not many people.
