Ban Gioc Waterfall is located in Bang Ca commune, Trung Khanh district, Cao Bang province, in the northeastern part of Vietnam near the border with China. It is situated on the upstream of the Quay Son River at the border of Vietnam and China, connecting with the Detian Waterfall in Shuolong Township, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Province, China.

The Detian Waterfall and Ban Gioc Waterfall merge into one during the rainy season, with a total width of 208 meters. It ranks as the world’s fourth largest transnational waterfall after the Iguazu Falls between Brazil and Argentina, the Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and the Niagara Falls between the United States and Canada, making it the largest in Asia. On the grassland in front of the Ban Gioc Waterfall, there are often cattle grazing freely, creating a picturesque scene with the white waterfall, lush green grass, and scattered cattle, which captivates visitors. The waterfall cascades down like a massive silver chain hanging high above the valley. Standing at the base of the waterfall, with water vapor rising, roaring torrents, and echoes reverberating in the valley, the sensation is truly deafening.

If you are lucky enough to visit on a sunny day, you may witness a rainbow across the waterfall, displaying its grandeur, magnificence, and soul-stirring power that leaves viewers in awe.
