Iconic place
By the raw nature and mountain life of Cao Bang
At the far reaches of northern Vietnam, Cao Bang reveals itself far from well-trodden routes. A preserved land of mountains, rivers and discreet villages, where travel rediscovers its original meaning.
Let's explore
Cao Bang, borderlands of silence
Nestled in a border region, Cao Bang is a land of relief and slowness. Its landscapes are vast, sometimes striking, yet never ostentatious. Limestone mountains stretch endlessly, rivers wind through the valleys below, and roads cross inhabited landscapes where communities remain deeply attached to their traditions.
Here, nature sets the pace. Silence is ever-present. Cao Bang is discovered unhurriedly, far from mass tourism, by those seeking a sincere immersion in a rural Vietnam that is unspoilt and profoundly human.

Essential experiences in Cao Bang
In Cao Bang, each day becomes a passage through powerful landscapes. Mountain roads open onto wide agricultural valleys, punctuated by rice fields, corn plots and ethnic villages. The eye is often drawn to pause, captured by the shifting light and the quiet simplicity of everyday life.
Ban Gioc Waterfall, marking a natural border between Vietnam and China, impresses with both its grandeur and its gentle flow. Further on, limestone caves such as Nguom Ngao reveal an underground world patiently shaped by time. Yet the true essence of Cao Bang lies elsewhere: in encounters with local people, in a shared cup of tea, in a smile exchanged along the roadside. Cao Bang is not simply a place to visit — it is a place to experience.

In general, the best time to visit Vietnam is from November to April. But you can travel all year round. The weather changes a lot from region to region, so when it rains or gets cold in one place, it can be sunny somewhere else.
Internet access is easy and affordable. Most hotels, cafés, and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi. If you want to stay connected all the time on your phone, you can buy a local SIM card. It gives you a stable connection during your trip for a very good price.
