Cross-border waterfall in south China turns golden amid rainy season

The Detian Transnational Waterfall, located on the China-Vietnam border in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, turned into striking golden color on Sunday as a result of continuous rainfall over the past few days.

Due to a significant increase in water volume carrying large amounts of silt and mud, the usually crystal-clear waterfall transformed into a spectacular golden one.

Cascading from a height of over 70 meters, the golden waterfall created a breathtaking and unusual scene that attracted many visitors.

As Asia's largest cross-border waterfall, the waterfall consists of two main sections, the Detian Waterfall on the Chinese side and the Ban Gioc Waterfall on the Vietnamese side.

This spectacular golden phenomenon often occurs during the peak water season from April to October, when heavy rainfall or rising upstream water levels stir up sediment in the river.
