The Ban Gioc waterfall is the largest and most beautiful waterfall in Vietnam, located in the northeastern province of Cao Bang.Vietnam and China started to open Ban Gioc-Detian Waterfalls in the two nations’ border area to tourists on a trial basis from 9:00 am on Friday.

The water from the waterfall comes from the Quay Son river. This beautiful jade-blue river flows from China through a fantastic landscape of rice fields and limestone rocks. The Ban Gioc Waterfall is still not a major tourist hot spot, despite the popularity on social media and good road access. Mass tourism is yet to come and besides on weekend and on public holidays, there are not many foreign and local tourist. The Ban Gioc waterfall flows into the Quay Son river, in the middle of a mountain range. From the height of 30 meters, the thunderous water flows give you a powerful feeling. Ban Gioc is considered the most impressive and beautiful waterfall in Southeast Asia. You come here not only to view the amazing waterfall, but also the breathtaking scenery. The waterfall is easily accessible via a gravel path. This path runs through a grassy bank and over wooden bridges. But before you walk on the gravel path, you must first stop at the nearby kiosk to pay the entrance fee of 2 dollar.

There are also a few food and drink stalls set up close to the falls. The Ban Gioc waterfall is right at the border, with Vietnam on one side of the Quay Son River and China on the other side. This means that one half of the waterfall is in Vietnam and the other half in China. On both sides you can take a bamboo raft that can bring you near the thundering water, so you could practically shake hands with Chinese tourist from the other boats. Going by raft over the Quay Son river, with Vietnam on one side and China on the other side A ride of 10 minutes on a raft costs around 2 dollar. To the left of the large waterfall you can admire another “smaller” waterfall, overshadowed by its big brother. The main waterfall on the right and the smaller waterfall on the left The “smaller” waterfall on the left It is still a huge waterfall and not less beautiful than the main one. There is also a secret way to climb the Ban Gioc waterfall, where you walk along a closed path. The path that goes up, starts when you walk over a wooden bridge from the beach below the fall.

It brings you to the first and second layers of the waterfall.

It is quite dangerous path that leads up through the jungle and there are obstacles to block access to this path. If you follow the path for a few hundred meters, you will reach the middle level of the waterfall that gives an impressive view of the waterfall.
