Dongxing city, located on the China-Vietnam border in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, thrives with vibrant cross-border tourism.

The city shares a close and interactive relationship with the Vietnamese city of Mong Cai, which is separated by a river. This dynamic connection serves as a vivid representation of the exchanges and cooperation between Guangxi and Vietnam.

As the summer vacation begins in Vietnam, an increasing number of tourists are entering China through Dongxing Port. In 2023, the port recorded 5.55 million inbound tourist visits, making it the top-ranked border port in China.
