Quang Ninh (VNA) – The border gate pair of Hoanh Mo (Vietnam) – Dongzhong (China) started opening for the entry and exit of tourists and border residents on February 25.

This marks the first time this year that tourists and border residents can conduct entry and exit activities through these border gates.

The individuals eligible for border entry and exit include citizens of Vietnam and China, provided they have a passport, an exit-entry permit, or a border area exit-entry pass.

The border gates are open for entry and exit from Monday to Friday each week. The operating hours are from 8:00am to 9:00am and 3:00pm to 4:00pm (Hanoi time), or from 9:00am to 10:00am and 4:00pm to 5:00pm (Beijing time).

The opening of the border gates for the entry and exit of tourists and border residents is a significant event, reflecting the increasingly comprehensive and deepening cooperation between Binh Lieu district in Quang Ninh province and China's Fangchenggang.

This border gate pair was officially launched on June 25, 2024./.
