Nestled along the border between Vietnam and China, Ban Gioc Waterfall stands as one of the nation’s most breathtaking natural treasures — powerful, poetic, and endlessly mesmerizing. When autumn arrives, golden sunlight spills over the emerald mountains, and streams of white water tumble gracefully over tiered cliffs, painting a masterpiece of color and motion.
Drift along the serene Quay Son River on a bamboo raft, let the cool breeze brush your face, and listen to the waterfall’s roar — a pure, living symphony of nature. Just nearby, the mysterious Nguom Ngao Cave invites you underground to marvel at its otherworldly stalactites, while the 400-year-old stone village of Khuoi Ky whispers tales of time and the Tay people’s enduring heritage.
Beyond its stunning landscapes, Cao Bang also delights visitors with its rich gastronomy, featuring specialties such as: roasted duck infused with seven spices, tangy pho chua, and smoky handmade sausages — dishes that tell stories of the mountains themselves.
To visit Ban Gioc in autumn is to touch the soul of Vietnam’s borderland — where nature sings, history lingers, and every smile warms the heart.
