Ma Phuc Pass
Đèo Mã Phục
A winding mountain road on the way to Ban Gioc Waterfall. From the pass viewpoint, you can look back over the hairpin bends, the rice fields and the karst peaks.
Ma Phuc Pass is on Route 3, the road heading from Cao Bang city toward Trùng Khánh and Ban Gioc. The road climbs in a series of hairpin bends to the summit. Roadside viewpoints look back over the S-shaped curves, the rice fields in the valley and the karst peaks. It is a classic stop for self-drive and motorbike trips along the eastern route. Small stalls near the pass sell local charcoal-grilled chestnuts. Entry is free. The road has many bends and heavy traffic, so motorbike riders should slow down, and visibility is poor in rain or fog.
