What to expect:
Probably one of the most requested locations we get asked about. Admittedly, the view is extraordinary!
One of the most breathtaking views in all of Vietnam, after visit the waterfall, make your way up to the Chùa Phật Tích Trúc Lâm Bản Giốc. It's a bit of a climb to the top, but you'll be rewarded with a stunning panorama that takes in the entire Ban Gioc Waterfall and the beautiful valley stretching across the border into China. The pagoda itself is a peaceful retreat, built in a traditional Vietnamese style that feels perfectly in harmony with the dramatic landscape. It's a truly special place to soak in the scenery and find a moment of tranquility.
How to get here:
We park down at the stairs, there is no fee. But some travelers also drove with the motorbike up to the pagoda, which seems also okay.
Come but sunrise or sunset, the atmosphere is absolutely magical.
