Bo, Coc Bo Cave, Lenin Stream, and Khuoi Nam
Stream.
Ban Gioc Fall is situated in Trung Khanh
district in Cao Bang province nears the
Sino-Vietnamese border. The echo of the falls
can be heard kilometers away from Trung
Khanh.Water from Quy Xuan River falling down on
the stone creates water droplets columns that
can be seen from a distance. The temperature
near the waterfall is remarkably cool, due to
the water mist in the air.
At the foot of the waterfall is a large river,
as calm as glass, surrounded by many precious
kinds of flowers. Ban Gioc Fall is famous for a
famous fish named tram huong. In the early
1920s, French people started building cottages
on the river banks. They would come here to
relax, fish for tram huong, and hunt deer.
