To the southeast, the land dispute also along the Sino-Vietnamese border also includes Nam Quan Gate ( Ải Nam Quan) which the Vietnamese claimed as well. One faction holds that the entirety of these falls belongs to Vietnam, and that the stone tablet had been moved there some time during or after the brief Sino-Vietnamese war of 1979. However, there are controversies regarding the border demarcation around the Falls. Additional talks were held as late as 2009 to clarify the treaty. ĭisputes regarding the border demarcation at this location were settled in 1999 Viet Nam-China Treaty on Land Borderline. Modern disputes arose as there are discrepancies as to the correlating legal documents on border demarcation and the placement of markers between the French and Qing administrations in the 19th century.

It is currently the 4th largest waterfall along a national border, after Iguazu Falls, Victoria Falls, and Niagara Falls. It is separated into three falls by rocks and trees, and the thundering effect of the water hitting the cliffs can be heard from afar.
Chinese texts sometimes name both of the water falls as Détiān Falls ( Chinese: 德天瀑布) on the Chinese side. The two parts are thác chính (Main waterfall) and thác phụ (Subordinate waterfall). In Vietnamese, the two falls are considered as two parts of one waterfall with the sole name Bản Giốc. It currently appears to be two waterfalls most of the time, but when the river is swollen due to summer rains can form one fall again. Over thousands of years, the waterfall has eroded its crest and slowly moved upstream. The waterfalls are located 272 km (169 mi) north of Hanoi. 22★1′23″N 106☄3′19″E / 22.8564°N 106.7220☎ / 22.8564 106.7220īản Giốc – Detian Falls or Bản Giốc Falls is a collective name for two waterfalls on the Quây Sơn River ( Vietnamese: Sông Quây Sơn, chữ Nôm: 滝𡇸山 Chinese: 归春河, Pinyin: Guīchūn hé) that straddle the international border between China and Vietnam more specifically located between the Karst hills of Daxin County, Guangxi and Trùng Khánh District, Cao Bằng Province.
