One of the famous destinations in Chongqing is Ban Gioc Waterfall, the 4th largest waterfall in the world, located on a border between countries and the largest natural waterfall in Southeast Asia. The scenery at Ban Gioc Waterfall is likened to a heavenly paradise amidst the mountains and forests, with its dreamy, cascading white waters. Besides sightseeing, visitors can experience rafting to fully admire the beauty of this stunning waterfall. (Source: Traveloka)

Not far from Ban Gioc Waterfall is the Truc Lam Ban Gioc Buddhist Temple, from which one can take in a panoramic view of the section of the Quay Son River and Ban Gioc Waterfall located entirely within Vietnamese territory. The temple is built against the mountain, with its front facing the valley, offering a breathtaking view of rice fields, mountains, forests, and villages. The temple's architectural style is deeply rooted in traditional Vietnamese culture, including the triple-arched gate, the Buddha altar, Arhat statues, and the statue of Saint Tran...

Khuoi Ky Stone Village is located on Provincial Road 206 leading to Nguom Ngao Cave, just 2km from Ban Gioc Waterfall. This ancient village was formed between 1594 and 1677, when the Mac Dynasty fled from Thang Long to Cao Bang and built stone houses to serve as a defensive "fortress". Khuoi Ky currently has 16 Tay ethnic families living in 14 stone houses built in the 16th century, their architecture still intact as it was in the beginning. (Photo: Thu Quynh)

Nestled within a majestic mountain in Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, Nguom Ngao Cave, also known as Ngao Cave, was discovered in 1921 and opened to tourism in 1996. According to a 1995 survey by the British Royal Cave Society, the cave is 2144m long and has three main entrances named Nguom Lom, Nguom Ngao, and Ban Thuon. Due to its late discovery and relatively short history as a tourist attraction, the cave retains its pristine and unique beauty. (Source: Traveloka)

The Quây Sơn River is a stunningly beautiful turquoise river in Cao Bằng province. The river meanders through diverse landscapes, creating picturesque scenery. Its emerald green waters stretch across many areas; in some places, they embrace the foot of towering limestone mountains, creating a charming mountain and water landscape; in others, they nestle beneath lush green bamboo groves; and in still others, they resemble a soft silk ribbon draped over the ripening rice fields of Phong Nặm and Ngọc Côn… (Source: Traveloka)

Beyond its gentle and tranquil appearance, the Quây Sơn River is also powerful and full of vitality. This enduring strength is manifested in its cascading rapids and waterfalls, especially the majestic scenery of Bản Giốc Waterfall. Along the Quây Sơn River are numerous villages with a rich heritage of tangible and intangible cultural traditions reflecting the unique ethnic identity. (Source: Traveloka)

Phong Nam is a small commune in Trung Khanh district, located only about 15km from the district center. Compared to the route to Ban Gioc Waterfall, the road to Phong Nam is much simpler. In Phong Nam, visitors can experience the thrill of climbing precarious rocky cliffs, admiring the peaceful beauty of the villages and fertile rice fields, with the tranquil river flowing in the distance.
