The famous waterfalls of Ban Gioc in Dam Thuy Commune, Trung Khanh District near the Sino-Vietnamese frontier impresses visitors with its picturesque scenery that has yet to be impacted by the human beings. The Ban Gioc Waterfalls are located more than 20km northeast of Trung Khanh which is about 65 km to from Cao Bang Town .

The site has recently become popular to European tourists, particularly those from France, Germany and the Netherlands, who are fond of discovering the beauty of nature and the life of ethnic minority people in northern mountain provinces of Vietnam.
Ban Gioc falls from the height of 30 meters descending on many limestone steps. In the middle of the fall stands a large rock coated with plants that divides the fall into three water flows.
From distance, the fall looks like three dazzling white silk bands descending softly and blending with the green of the mountain and forest.

Not far from the foot of the waterfall is an opposite scenery. Here you see a river with calm surface and clear water. Along the riverbanks are grasslands and greenery forests.
When the evening has set in, visitors can see herds of cows and buffaloes grazing in the nearby region or images of young ethnic men poling bamboo rafts on the river.
