In addition, visitors to Pac Bo can pay a visit to other famous places such as Coc Bo, Bo Bam Caves, Co Rac Ground and Khuoi Nam...especially Ban Gioc Waterfall

Ban Gioc Waterfall

Ban Gioc Waterfalls in Cao Bang Province is a hugely popular destination and on a recent northern tour we gave into temptation. The waterfall falls are thirty meters high, separated into three falls by rocks and trees, and the thundering effect of the water hitting the cliffs can be heard some kilometers away. The scenery here changes according to the seasons. The autumn is the best time when the Ban Gioc waterfall where Uncle Ho lived and worked before the August 1945 Revolution, has blue water, and in November and December, when colorful wild flowers blossom throughout the forest.

Visiting this historical area, travelers will learn more about the great life and devotion of President Ho Chi Minh which is partly- reflected through his optimistic revolutionary verses.
