Ban Gioc Waterfall

The highlight of Cao Bang is undoubtedly the Ban Gioc Waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Asia. Located on the border between Vietnam and China, the waterfall cascades down from multiple levels surrounded by lush green hills and dramatic limestone mountains. The sound of rushing water and the sight of mist rising from the falls create a magical atmosphere that leaves visitors in awe. Boat trips are available to bring you closer to the base of the falls for a truly immersive experience.

Walking inside the cave reveals massive chambers and intricate rock patterns. Moving further south, Bac Kan province offers the tranquility of Ba Be Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Vietnam. Surrounded by forested mountains, the lake is perfect for boat trips, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water. The Ba Be National Park also provides trekking opportunities through villages, waterfalls, and caves.
