Dong Xing Port
Bbinger1031Boundary monuments, Ho Chi Minh Pavilion, national gate... several iconic buildings are easy to find, and the rest is shopping. Things are indeed cheap, but they can all be bought online.
The towering national gate stands on the bank of the Beilun River, solemn and majestic, and the five-star red flag flies high to declare sovereignty. Just 100 meters away from the port is Mong Cai, Vietnam, and the China-Vietnam Friendship Bridge connects the two countries. There is a No. 5 boundary monument of the Qing Dynasty by the river, with the words "Qinzhou Boundary of the Qing Dynasty" engraved in the middle of the monument. Now it is no longer a real boundary monument, standing on the border line and becoming a cultural relic. The prosperity of border trade has brought prosperity to the city. Every street and every building looks very new, and there are no relics of the ancient city at all. There are shops on both sides of the street, and there are a variety of specialties. We strolled on the street, and there were endless pedestrians. Green canvas hats, pointed white hats... You can appreciate the culture and customs of foreign countries without leaving the country. Of course, I prefer the streets in the morning. Without the hustle and bustle, it has returned to its original appearance.
Wanwei Golden Beach
山山在穷游When you came to Bailang Beach, in fact, you have come to Wanwei Golden Beach. The area here is still quite large. From this to that end, I feel the beauty of the beach and feel the changes of the beach. I saw a lot of small crabs crawling on it. I also saw a small dead fish lying on top of it, and heard local fishermen say that at night they would go to the other end of the beach to catch squid, which is my favorite activity
Dong Xing Guo Men Scenic Area
山山在穷游Dongxing Guomen Scenic Area is a very large and general attraction. There are both Guomen, many boundary monuments, and some ancient buildings that have been left at the time. When we come here, we can visit the park and remember the martyrs. Is a nice border city attraction, the main thing is that these things are free
Yuenan Street

1. "National Gate Three Streets" is located in the 4A scenic spot "Dongxing National Gate". Dongxing National Gate is a land port connecting Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Province and Mong Cai, Vietnam. It was established in 1958 and is an important trading port between China and Vietnam. It has more than 3 million people entering and leaving the country each year, ranking third among all land ports in the country and first in Guangxi Province. It was once used as an export channel for aid to Vietnam. It was closed in 1978 due to the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack and reopened in 1994. Chinese and Vietnamese residents traveled between China and Vietnam through the "Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Bridge" across the Beilun River. The center line of the Beilun River is the border between the two countries.
① Address: No. 63, Zhongshan Road, Dongxing City, Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Province.
② Transportation: Direct bus, but you have to walk 1.1 kilometers after getting off. It is easy to park by car.
③ Peak season: None.
④ Time: 2 hours.
2. Customs clearance precautions:
① You cannot take photos when entering the port indoors.
② Do not help strangers to carry things through customs: if something goes wrong, it will be considered smuggling at the least, and if there are drugs in it, the consequences will be disastrous.
③ Prohibited items: animals, plants, fruits, seeds, audio tapes, video tapes, etc. These are the most easily neglected. I won’t mention other well-known contraband.
④ When passing through customs, put down the new version of your passport at the first gate (the new version of the passport has a camera symbol under the "passport" on the cover) for scanning, and the countdown is 10 seconds. Go to the manual channel with the old version of your passport; scan your face at the second gate.
⑤ There is a very small probability that some people will be randomly checked for baggage inspection.
3. The Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Bridge is located between the Chinese port and the Vietnamese port. It was built in the 24th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1898). It is an iron bridge jointly built by China and France, making the Dongxing Port a prosperous place for business. After the iron bridge was scrapped in 1957, it was rebuilt into a stone bridge the following year and named "Beilun River Bridge". It is 111 meters long. In 1960, when Tao Zhu, then the first secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, inspected the bridge, he changed the name of the bridge to its current name and inscribed the name of the bridge. The two words "Friendship" added reflected my country's good expectations for Sino-Vietnamese relations. However, things did not go as planned. During the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack in 1978, the Vietnamese side blew up the bridge. After the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam in 1992, the bridge was rebuilt with funds from China. Residents walking on the Friendship Bridge are "out of the country" for China and "not in" for Vietnam. Their identities at this time are very strange.
4. The three national gate streets refer to the three port pedestrian streets, Jianshe Street, Mulan Street, and Diandian Street. Many buildings on the streets were built during the Republic of China period, and there are both Chinese and Vietnamese goods in the shops.
Dongxing Jingdao Scenic and Historic Interest Area
行行走毛毛How big is the Jingdao Scenic Area in Dongxing? In fact, you will find out when you come here. The entire Wanwei Golden Beach is within the Jingdao Scenic Area. It’s just that perhaps due to the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, the economy of the entire Qingdao Scenic Area is not very good. You will find that the very luxurious homestays built in the past are now unmanned. But I believe that with such beautiful natural scenery, this place will soon get better.
Boundary Monument No.5 in the Great Qing Dynasty
山山在穷游When you come to Dongxing, you must see the national gate. At the same time, you must also see the No. 5 boundary marker of Qinzhou, the Qing Dynasty. There are actually several boundary markers here, and this boundary marker is the most famous, and it is also framed with glass. It is actually on the roadside. You can see it when you take a walk here in the early morning. There is still a certain difference between looking at the ancient boundary markers and looking at our current ones.
No.1 Boundary Monument of Qing Dynasty
中中西南北东In the 11th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1885), the Qing government and France signed the Sino-French-Vietnamese Treaty in Tianjin. The following year (1886), the Qing government sent personnel to meet with French boundary surveyor Dillon to survey the Sino-Vietnamese border. In the 16th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1890), the then prefect of Qinzhou and French officials jointly signed the "Boundary Treaty" and erected a stone boundary here, so it was called "Boundary Monument No. 1 of the Great Qing Dynasty".
"Boundary Monument No. 1" is a symbol of the vicissitudes of the motherland.
In fact, this boundary monument is surrounded by Chinese territory. A few dozen meters away from the boundary monument is the Beilun River. The real border between China and Vietnam is in the middle of the Beilun River, which is naturally not suitable for building boundary monuments. Therefore, this boundary monument only serves as an "indication" rather than a "definition". On the other side of the river, on the Vietnamese territory, there is also a boundary monument erected by the Vietnamese side, which also serves as an "indication".

3. China-Vietnam People's Friendship Park: It was built in 1958 and rebuilt in 2000. In the center stands a towering monument to commemorate the soldiers who died in my country's aid to Vietnam during the Vietnam War in 1954. There are also two friendship trees donated by Ho Chi Minh in 1960 and the tomb of martyr Chen Handong (he died in the anti-Japanese guerrilla struggle in 1945 and was reburied on a hillside in the park in 1959 with five other martyrs).
