Khau Lan Waterfall is located in the valley of Quyet Tien commune, Quan Ba ​​district, surrounded by green tropical forest canopy, not much affected by humans and still retains its wild and majestic beauty. 

From Ha Giang city center, visitors can travel more than 40 km to reach the center of Quyet Tien commune, Quan Ba ​​district. From here, continue 10 km to reach the trekking point down to the waterfall. Because the waterfall has not been located on the directions app, if traveling on your own, visitors need to regularly ask local people to avoid getting lost. Khau Lan Waterfall can be explored during the day because the trekking distance to the waterfall is only about one kilometer, not too strenuous.

From the main road, one could hear the sound of water rushing down. After about 10 - 15 minutes of walking, the waterfall appears in front of you.

In the middle is a waterfall with a large flow of water, pouring into the lake at the foot, creating white foam. Because it is a wild waterfall, few people know about it, so there are no exact figures about the height, length, and width of the waterfall. Ta Ba Lo estimates that the waterfall is about 20 m high and more than 10 m wide. The length cannot be estimated because the waterfall, after pouring into the lake, continues to flow downward. The point that creates the majesty of the waterfall is the strong flow, weaving through large rocks on both sides and then pouring into the lake. 

The waterfall is located at the source of the water flowing from the mountain cave, so the water is clear, cool and clean. The lake is suitable for waterfall bathing experience. Next to the waterfall, there are small sandy beaches for visitors to set up tables and chairs, grill, organize small parties and rest and enjoy the cool atmosphere.
