Ban Gioc–Detian Falls

Ban Gioc–Detian Falls, straddling the China-Vietnam border, is Asia’s most stunning transnational waterfall. Its multi-tiered cascades span 200 meters, plunging 70 meters amid karst mountains and emerald rice paddies. Best visited in summer’s rainy season, the thunderous falls split into three sections, creating misty rainbows. A symbol of shared natural heritage, it’s surrounded by ethnic Zhuang and Tay villages. Though disputed territorially, its beauty unites both nations in awe—a harmonious collision of water, rock, and culture.
