I started off Cao Bao, I went to a restaurant to have a coconut coffee, the 8th floor I think it’s called, connected to hotel that I’m not staying at. When I was done I started talking to the receptionist about the falls, she was the one who set up the tour. And she even set up my bus to Ha Giang the next day, I was just talking to her about it. I didn’t ask her to do it. She gave me her number and everything to make sure things went smoothly. So kind!!TY THAO!!As you go for a tour to the waterfalls, there are multiple options that u may choose from. As I did not take a motorbike in this tour,also I only went to maybe 4 or 5 of the stops along the way to the waterfalls. Which where nice, mostly scenic pictures, the walkthrough that I did was a cave which u can chose 1 hour or 2 hour. I choose the 1 hour tour as my driver said we were short on time. The waterfall was 1 of the other walkthrough, it is a nice waterfall. You can right next to it in some parts. You can also take a boat to get to the wider part. You can go ther walk around for about a half hour take your pics and be on your way. we stopped at a blacksmith that is on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere where he makes knives. The heat coming from the make shift boiler is intense!! I’m standing 3-4 meters away that is HOT. The smith is 1m away and swinging away barely breaking a sweat. When the blacksmith hammers down on the knives u feel the vibrations in the floor.I asked how many he makes in a day. He responded 20. The next stop was a shop that sells all kinds of sharp objects from knives to swords to sickles. The owner of the shop is lady, very funny. There was a bug walking across floor I was like WAa. The bug Was as big as my hand. The owner saw my face started laughing, she said that it is her pet. The other walkthrough is the temple on the mountain side, a few hundred steps and you will be at the top. Actually steps….Long steps. You can take a motor bike to the top and back again, but we came for an adventure!! This tour is not just about the waterfall but also the people and the journey to get there. This is an adventure for 1 day. Talking to the guide is no problem with google translate, It will be a fun time. If your limited in time and only have a free day you can do the above. I would suggest the loop but u have to devote 3 days to it. It will be more scenic, but u also will be on a motorbike...

Read moreLet's claim Google Maps showing the status of the Vietnam - China border through Ban Gioc waterfall!
The main waterfall of Ban Gioc cannot completely belong to China, as shown on the current Google Maps!
Method: Step 1: Go to the App Store to find Google Maps. Step 2: Click to view information of this app. Step three: Pull up, to find the section: "Write a review", to rate the app and leave your request!
Together, we will do it!
Please like, share, or copy and post on your Facebook page, and follow the steps to reflect with the app!

Dear Google Maps app development team!
I would like to reflect a serious incident as follows:
According to the latest demarcation agreement between the two governments of Vietnam and China, the main waterfall of Ban Gioc Waterfall is divided in half, along the Que Son River.
On either side of the waterfall, each country places a border marker on the river bank.
Thus, the border crossing here must be straight and cut through the middle of the main waterfall of Ban Gioc Waterfall.
The boundary line is bent, eating to the Vietnamese coast, in the waterfall area, as shown on the current Google Map, which reflects the wrong situation.
This is a mistake, causing serious injury, for every Vietnamese patriotic of us!
We hope the Google Map app development team will review the documents, so that the display of the border can be adjusted, through the Ban Gioc Waterfall area, to match the status quo!
This means a lot to every Vietnamese citizen we have!
Appreciation and thanks! Source: Nguyen Anh Tuan
