Mong Cai - A Leisurely Border City Walk.

Where to go this winter~ If you want to travel to Vietnam but don't want to go too far, take a day trip to Mong Cai! A border city in Vietnam~ Just across from Dongxing, Fangchenggang in Guangxi It's very convenient for a same-day round trip~~~ 【Procedure】: You only need a passport to handle it, with a small group tour costing around ¥280. You can choose a private tour package, and there are also private car tours available. 【Data】: You can activate one-day international data on your phone or enable international roaming (many places in Mong Cai can receive Chinese networks, so if you don't use much data, you might not need to activate it). 【Currency Exchange】: There are many places near the border to exchange Vietnamese Dong. It's recommended to find a reputable store to exchange, and 100-300 yuan per person should be enough depending on personal needs. 【Border Crossing】: It's very convenient to cross the Chinese border, just swipe your passport to pass. The Vietnamese border has a green fast track to avoid long queues. The visa will be collected at the Vietnamese customs, so you can't take it with you. Remember to take photos on the section of the Friendship Pass Bridge. 🛬【Travel Guide】: Recommended City Walk route: Gather at Dongxing Port to exit—Take a car at the Vietnamese port—Cha Gu Ethnic Square—0 Kilometer Coastline (border area)—Cha Gu Church—Cha Gu Beach—Blue Church ❥(^_-) Private tours are super convenient and flexible. You can communicate with the guide about the gathering time and return time, making it very convenient to plan your time. 🍩【Must-Eat Food】: Vietnamese Chicken Pho Balut Drip Coffee Avocado Juice Vietnamese Spring Rolls Fruits (Rambutan, Durian, Mangosteen, and other Southeast Asian fruits, note that you can't bring them back to China, so you need to eat them before crossing the border) 🏨【Accommodation Guide】: If you arrive in Dongxing the night before, it is recommended to stay at the Ramada Hotel or Vienna Hotel near the border. 🚌【Transportation Guide】: Driving to Dongxing: There are parking lots near the border, marked with a P sign, ¥20/day Nanning—Dongxing: Direct high-speed train Mong Cai—Cha Gu District: About a dozen kilometers, a ten-minute drive. Friends who like to take photos can choose a private car tour. 🧡【Tips】: Vietnam time is one hour behind China time. Dongxing Port closes at 21:00 China time, so you need to return to the port by 20:00 Vietnam time. There are staff at the Vietnamese port to guide you through the border. The process of returning to China is very quick, but it's still necessary to allow extra time to prevent any unexpected situations.
