Ban Gioc Waterfall: The Jewel of Northeast Vietnam

Ban Gioc Waterfall is one of Vietnam's most impressive natural wonders. Located in the northeastern province of Cao Bang, the falls are 30 meters high and 300 meters across, making Ban Gioc the widest waterfall in the country. The falls occur on the Quay Son River, a beautiful jade-blue body of water through a pastoral landscape of rice fields and bamboo groves surrounded by limestone pinnacles. 

The name "Ban Gioc" means "silver cascade" in the local language, and it's easy to see why. The falls cascade down a series of limestone cliffs, creating a curtain of white water that glistens in the sunlight. The sound of the falls is loud, and the mist that they create can be seen for miles around. The best time to visit Ban Gioc Waterfall is during the rainy season, from October to December, when the water levels are highest. However, the falls are also beautiful during the dry season, from January to September.

Ban Gioc Waterfall is located in the Dam Thuy commune of Cao Bang province, about 360 kilometers from Hanoi. The best way to get there is by car or bus. There are also a few tour operators that offer day trips to the falls from Hanoi.
