边境天堂 A borderline paradise

板约-德天瀑布，中国与越南边境

欢迎来到河流与边界线交汇的绝美之地：板约-德天瀑布。今日图片展示的正是这幅美景。该瀑布位于中国广西壮族自治区大新县与越南高平省重庆县之间的喀斯特地貌山丘区，沿着归春河流下。瀑布高达95英尺，宽980英尺，是越南最宽的瀑布，距离河内169英里。多年来，板约瀑布的顶端因侵蚀而缓慢向上游延伸。一年中的大部分时间里，它们以两个独立的瀑布流淌，但到了夏季，当雨水使河水上涨时，它们会汇合成一个巨大的瀑布。

尽管道路得以改善，公共交通更加便利，无人机视频也展示了瀑布的壮丽美景，但板约瀑布依然保留着原始与静谧的一面。大规模旅游尚未波及这里，因此在大多数工作日，您只会遇到寥寥无几的游客、当地居民，以及瀑布奔涌的声音。

Bản Giốc–Detian Falls, Vietnam

Welcome to a spot where rivers meet international borders in the most stunning way: the Bản Giốc – Detian Falls, featured in today's image. Tucked between the karst hills of China's Daxin County and Trùng Khánh district in Vietnam, these falls tumble along the Quây Sơn River about 170 miles north of Hanoi. For most of the year, they flow as two distinct cascades, but come summer, when the rains swell the river, they merge into one big fall. At over 95 feet tall and 980 feet wide, Bản Giốc holds the distinction of being the widest waterfall in Vietnam.

Even with better roads, easier public transport, and drone videos showing off the jaw-dropping beauty of the falls, Bản Giốc remains refreshingly off the beaten path. Mass tourism hasn't caught up yet, and on most weekdays, you'll find only a handful of visitors—just you, the locals, and the sound of cascading water.
