Ban Gioc Waterfall

Ban Gioc Waterfall or Detian Falls – among World’s 21 most beautiful waterfalls

Ban Gioc Waterfalls stands as one of the grandest and most captivating Vietnam waterfalls. Found within Dam Thuy Commune, approximately 335 kilometers away from Hanoi, the fall lies on the border between China’s Guangxi and Vietnam’s Cao Bang.

Nestled in the mesmerizing province of Cao Bang, Ban Gioc Waterfalls stands as a true natural wonder of Vietnam. This enchanting fall unveils a breathtaking spectacle as pristine waters cascade from tier to tier, harmonizing with the lush landscapes. Its splendor is a testament to the captivating beauty that Cao Bang generously bestows upon its visitors.

The falls occur on the Quay Son River, a beautiful jade-blue body of water flowing from China through a pastoral landscape of rice fields and bamboo groves surrounded by limestone pinnacles.
 
Despite improved road access and public transportation connections, and the popularity of several recent viral drone videos showcasing the majesty of the falls, Ban Gioc is still a relatively off-the-beaten-path sight. Mass tourism has yet to arrive and, outside of weekends and public holidays, there’s rarely more than a trickle of foreign and domestic visitors.
 
Straddling Vietnam and China, Ban Gioc Waterfalls astounds with its layered beauty, where cascades blend harmoniously amidst breathtaking surroundings.

 

Not only one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Vietnam, Ban Gioc is also among the largest in Southeast Asia and one of the world’s four largest waterfalls lying on a border of countries. Rounding of the list of the Top 21 include:
