Unveiling the Wonders of Khe Van Waterfall
Khe Van Waterfall is also hailed as the most beautiful 3-tiered waterfall in Quang Ninh. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted with the gentle sound of cascading water. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to admire the majestic and poetic scenery of the primeval forests. Everything paints a mesmerizing picture of aquatic tranquility, enchanting the souls of romantic wanderers.
Khe Van Waterfall is located in the eastern part of Quang Ninh province. This waterfall originates from the Luc Ngu stream and cascades through the rock crevices. Over time, these flows have formed a strip of pure white water, soft like an enchanting mist. The reason it's called Khe Van is because according to the local people, 'Van' means smoke, and 'Khe Van' translates to 'water stream with smoke.'
