Ban Gioc is the largest natural waterfall in Southeast Asia and also the world's fourth largest cross-border waterfall.

It is designed to promote the images of Cao Bang, Ban Gioc waterfall and cultural traits of ethnic groups in the province to domestic and foreign visitors, thereby contributing to the province’s socio-economic development, security-defence, investment attraction, tourism and trade.
