Deep in the karst country of southern Guangxi near the Vietnamese border. The ethnic-minority photo programme is included in the rate, which is unusual in the region.
June to October for full-water falls; September to November for clear karst days · Relaxed · Easy
Guilin takes the postcards; the Guangxi border country takes the quiet. This 4-day loop runs south from Nanning to Detian, where the Qui Chun River drops over a horseshoe cliff on the Vietnam line — Asia’s largest transnational waterfall — then folds back through the Mingshi valley, where karst peaks rise straight out of rice fields and bamboo rafts drift between them. It is the closest thing we run to a Southeast Asian river landscape without leaving China.
