Waterfall on border a magnet for tourism

China's first cross-border tourism zone in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region will conduct trial operations in June with its neighbor, Vietnam, as tourism between the countries surged last year.

The Detian-Ban Gioc tourism cooperation zone is based on Asia's largest cross-border waterfall - Detian Waterfall - which at 208 meters wide has water rushing down a three-tiered cliff from a drop of 70 meters.

It consists of two parts: one, named Detian Waterfall, is on the Chinese side, and the other, named Ban Gioc Waterfall, is on the Vietnamese side.
