Come to Asia's largest transnational waterfall to enjoy the surging water flow, take the China Laos railway international passenger train to experience the access from Kunming, China to Vientiane, Laos, participate in the China Russia Mongolia International Ice and Snow Festival, witness the revival of the "ten thousand mile tea ceremony", walk into the China Kazakhstan Khorgos International Border Cooperation Center to feel the strong recovery of ports and border trade... In recent years, the level of cross-border tourism connectivity of China's border provinces and regions has continued to improve, Cultural and tourism cooperation with neighboring countries is exciting and diverse. The distinctive cross-border tourism development pattern has built a bridge connecting Chinese and foreign people, making positive contributions to promoting high-level opening up and promoting the high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road". The popularity of cross-border tourism continues to rise. Tourists have more convenient and affordable travel options, and new choices for tourism. The waterfalls on both sides of the strait hang on the green mountains, with a majestic momentum that can be heard for miles. On September 15th last year, as China's first cross-border tourism cooperation zone, the Sino Vietnamese Detian (Banyue) Waterfall Cross border Tourism Cooperation Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "Cooperation Zone") launched a one-year trial operation. This project is jointly constructed and implemented by Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China and Gaoping Province of Vietnam. During the trial operation period, tourists from both countries can present legal and valid documents, and after inspection by the border inspection department, visit and tour the other side of the cooperation zone. Vietnamese youth Nguyen Minh and his friends went on a trip to Gaoping Province. Seeing that the cross-border tourism project procedures were very convenient, they signed up to participate in the tour. "At Detian Waterfall, we visited attractions such as Zhuangjin Avenue, Waterfall Viewing Platform, and Third level Waterfall. China's scenic areas have a large investment, complete infrastructure construction, and high service quality." Ruan Minghe said. According to statistics, as of January 22 this year, the cooperation zone has received 9830 inbound and outbound tourists, including 155 Chinese tour groups with 1708 people and 202 Vietnamese tour groups with 3207 people. At the beginning of the new year, Liao Yuhua, a resident of Kunming, Yunnan, brought all the necessary documents for visa application to China Railway Kunming Bureau Group International Tourism Service Co., Ltd., preparing to sign up for a trip to Laos during the Spring Festival. After the opening of the China Laos railway international passenger train on April 13 last year, the idea of traveling to Laos has always haunted Liao Yuhua. "Taking the high-speed train, starting from Kunming in the morning and arriving in the capital of Laos, Vientiane in the evening is very convenient!" Liao Yuhua chose a 6-day and 5-night travel route, passing through famous tourist cities in Laos such as Luang Prabang, Vanrong, and Vientiane. Relying on international railways to open cross-border tourism trains is a major highlight of China Laos cross-border tourism. According to the statistics of Yunnan Mohan Exit Entry Border Inspection Station, since the two-way departure of the international passenger trains of the China Laos Railway, as of January 7, 542 cross-border passenger trains have been checked and released, carrying a total of 119200 cross-border passengers from 75 countries (regions). Tongluo, chief editor of the Vientiane Times in Laos, said that Laos hopes to attract tourists from all over the world, including Chinese tourists, with its beautiful natural scenery and traditional lifestyle. The opening of the China Laos Railway has facilitated many tourists, In 2023, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region received over 1% of inbound tourists from Mongolia throughout the year
