Ban Gioc Waterfall

The boundary between Vietnam and China is divided by Ban Gioc, which is the largest waterfall in Vietnam. To get close enough to properly appreciate this waterfall's breathtaking splendor, you must hire a boat and travel to its foot. The most stunning waterfall in Vietnam is the Ban Gioc waterfall.

When huge blocks of water flow down the limestone steps, sending white water halfway over the mountain, the waterfall displays the great majesty of nature. With steam rising to create a fantastic fog, this sight is highly lyrical and reminds one of a scene from a Wonderland film. Let’s take a Hanoi to Ban Gioc Waterfall tour to explore this wonderful site!

Khuoi Ky ancient stone village

Nearly 100 miles from the Cao Bang city center, the ancient stone village is situated approximately 3 kilometers from the Ban Gioc waterfall. 14 Tay ethnic communities are located in Khuoi Ky village, where they have lived in stone-stilted homes for hundreds of years. These stone stilt homes were constructed between 1594 and 1677, during the Mac dynasty.

Ma Phuc Pass

Ma Phuc is the most picturesque pass in Cao Bang province and a check-in location in Cao Bang that astounds tourists with the majesty of nature. The pass is situated in the Tra Linh area, is about 3.5 km long, and rises to an altitude of 700 m above sea level.

Ma Phuc Pass, as its name implies, "squeezes" between limestone mountains and valleys, giving the impression of a horse. Ma Phuc is also included in Cao Bang Global Geopark's list of geologically significant sites, which is recognized by UNESCO.

Phuc Sen Blacksmithing Village

Phuc Sen forging village has established a strong reputation among visitors thanks to its long history. Phuc Sen forging village, a unique tourist site in Cao Bang, has taken advantage of its location on the highway linking Cao Bang City with Ban Gioc Waterfall to draw visitors from all over the world.

Visitors are impressed with Phuc Sen Forging Village, a popular tourist spot in Cao Bang, at first glance. The reason why the locals have held on to blacksmithing for so long is that they wish to preserve the culture, way of life, and traditions that have been followed for many generations, in addition to doing it as a means of supporting their families.

What to eat and what to drink

When visiting Cao Bang, don't forget to sample local specialties including five-color sticky rice, stewed chicken or pork legs with chestnuts, and roasted duck.

Cao Bang's specialty is sour pho. The meal also includes fried yams. Only in Bac Kan and Cao Bang can you get this large, fluffy, and delicious potato. Basil, coriander, cucumber, peanuts, honeysuckle leaves, and basil leaves are all indispensable flavors.

The Ban Gioc waterfall is known for its wonderful grilled fish, which is widely available in the Trung Khanh market. Clean the fish, slice open the belly, stuff it with onions, dill, and chile, wrap it in banana leaves, and grill it over coals. The scent of the grilled fish will make you never forget!

Chestnuts from Chongqing are a seasonal gift that should not be missed. Chestnuts are cooked before being dry-roasted, peeled, and filled by the Cao Bang people. The sticky rice is combined with the kernels, which have been pounded into a powder. The flavorful taste of the chestnuts and the nuggets' scent make the meal appealing.

Particularly, smoked meat is simple to find and purchase in Cao Bang City as gifts. Pork is smoked over charcoal and sugar cane to give it a beautiful red color and distinctive aroma. The meat has been marinated in spices, rock ginger, and wild honey.
