During their talks in Hanoi on Sunday, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Chinese counterpart Li Qiang announced that Ban Gioc - Detian Waterfalls would officially come on stream on October 15. The September-December period is the best time to visit Ban Gioc Waterfall, which lies in Dam Thuy Commune, Trung Khanh District, Cao Bang Province, northern Vietnam.
