BABE - CAO BANG

We leave Ba Be by a fantastic mountainous road, leading us along scattering high limestone formations and heavily forested hills. We pass the frontier regions near China as we bring a visit to the Pac Po Grotto, Ho Chi Minh's former base during 1930. Here we will learn more about this all-time hero of Viet Nam and his long struggle for liberation of the country against the Colonial Force. We spend the night in a hotel in Cao Bang.

CAO BANG - BAN GIOC WATERFALL

Further north is Cao Bang province, a remote area on the border with China. Cao Bang is sparsely populated. It has several ethnic communities in villages hardly affected by tourism. Cao Bang is famous for its graceful mountains, grottos and streams. This afternoon we take you to the most beautiful waterfall of Viet Nam, the Ban Gioc waterfall, situated right at the Chinese border. After this magical visit we return to Cao Bang where we will spend the night at our hotel.

CAO BANG - LANG SON

Today we travel back in time - we go back to Indochina by driving the famous Colonial Road No. 4 where we pass villages like Dong Khe and That Khe. This place is well-known for its countless bloody fights during the 1950s between Viet Minh and the French Force. In the late afternoon, we arrive in Lang Son city and discover the central market. This market offers divers Chinese products as Lang Son is the trade-gateway between China and Viet Nam. Before checking in our hotel in Lang Son, we bring an interesting visit to Tam Thanh and Nhi Thanh grottos.
