Start with the visa
A Chinese visa must be issued before you travel. Processing takes working days, not hours, and requirements vary considerably by nationality.
Document review
We review your documents before booking is confirmed. If something is missing, it is far cheaper to find out in Hanoi than in Lang Son.
### On the day
Departure is early, the drive is about three hours, and the checkpoint closes earlier than crossings further south.
