Ban Gioc – Detian Falls, border of Vietnam and China wikimapia.org/l/I2aaab Ban Gioc – Detian Falls is currently considered the 4th largest waterfall along a national border, after Iguazu Falls, Victoria Falls, and Niagara Falls and was one of the crossing points for Chinas army during the brief Sino-Vietnamese War. Nearby there is the Tongling Gorge accessible only through a cavern from an adjoining gorge. Rediscovered only recently, it has many species of endemic plants, found only in the gorge, and in the past was used as a hideout by local bandits, whose treasure is occasionally still found in the cliff-side caves. #Wikimapia #wikiplaces #waterfall #China #Vietnam #travel
