The northern mountainous region, with its towering mountain ranges resembling natural fortifications, vast, lush green forests, and winding rivers, creates a breathtaking natural landscape. Among these, Ban Gioc Waterfall is famous for its pristine, magical beauty, like a watercolor painting in the heart of Cao Bang's highlands.
Recently, representatives from the People's Committee of Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, stated that heavy rains caused flooding in the upstream of the Quay Son River, resulting in a high water level at the downstream of Ban Gioc Waterfall and widespread flooding. The Ban Gioc Waterfall Management Board has placed warning signs, prohibiting locals and tourists from approaching the waterfall to ensure safety.
The area around Ban Gioc Waterfall is submerged in water.
