Spring Festival Trip to Guangxi | Taking Parents to Dongxing Port to Experience Vietnamese Culture

Took my parents to Dongxing Port in Fangchenggang, which is located on the beautiful coast of Beibu Gulf. It is the southern starting point of the motherland's land border and coastline, connected to Vietnam by land and sea. It is only 100 meters away from the Mangjie Port of Vietnam. ❤ Recommended Reasons: ✅ The No.5 Boundary Marker of the Qing Dynasty On April 14, 1890, the Governor of Qinzhou, Li Shoutong, and the French official Labadi set up a stone agreement along the river border from Zhushan to Jialong (now Jialong Village, Nathong Township, Fangcheng District), arranging them in order. The first marker was inside Zhushan Village of Dongxing City, and the markers were arranged along the border line to the Dongxing urban area, with the Dongxing Port area being the fifth. Address: Intersection of Xinhua Road and Hedao Road, Dongxing City ✅ Beilun River Beilun River, the boundary river between China and Vietnam, is the mother river of Dongxing, with a total length of 107 kilometers. The Beilun River originates from two places, one of which is Beilun Mountain in Naliang Town, hence the name. In the spring of 1962, the famous Chinese playwright and poet Tian Han came to Dongxing and composed 'Beilun River,' which includes the beautiful lines 'On the creek stones by the border bridge, washerwomen face each other at dusk with their pounding sounds.' It describes the unique scenery of the boundary river. ✅ Dongxing 'Bund' Riverside Street Dongxing Riverside Street, facing Mangjie of Vietnam across the river, has a history of several hundred years. It is not only the forefront of Dongxing's opening up but also the window of the national gate city. The Southeast Asian style architectural complex is the best embodiment of Dongxing's absorption and integration of foreign cultures. As night falls, willows bathe in the breeze, witnessing the curling smoke from both banks, the bright lights, the golden waterway with competing sails, and a hundred boats racing, forming a unique cultural landscape of the Bund. Address: Hedao Road, Dongxing City
