Ban Gioc Waterfall & Tiger Cave

We went to Ban Gioc Waterfall, also know as Detian Falls, which is located directly at the border between Vietnam and China. It is the 4th largest waterfall along a national border, after Iguazu Falls, Victoria Falls, and Niagara Falls. That's kinda crazy because there's waterfalls are huge.

Ban Gioc Waterfall is 300m wide, consisting of a main waterfall and a subsidiary waterfall. I read that during rainy season when the water is at its highest, the two waterfalls merge together and form one big waterfall.

After the waterfall we went to a cave, which is called Tiger Cave in Vietnamese. The cave is stunningly beautiful. There's one stalagmite they call the Lotus Stalagmite because it resembles the shape of a lotus flower turned upside-down. One thing I saw for the first time in this cave were underground terraces, formed by a a river flowing through the cave.Weiterlesen
