Ban Gioc–Detian Falls, Natural waterfall in Cao Bang, Vietnam.
Ban Gioc Falls spans 300 meters wide and drops 30 meters, creating multiple cascading tiers of water flowing over limestone formations along the Quay Son River.
The waterfall marks the natural border between Vietnam and China, with the international boundary line running through its center since ancient territorial agreements.
The Tay and Nung ethnic groups maintain their traditional agricultural practices near the falls, cultivating terraced rice fields on surrounding mountain slopes.
Visitors can reach Ban Gioc Falls by taking a four-hour bus ride from Cao Bang city, with October offering clear visibility and strong water flow.
The waterfall system splits into three distinct sections divided by rocky outcrops, with the leftmost falls appearing only during the rainy season.
