Mong Cai border gate working hours extended

Starting next month, Mong Cai border gate will remain open for immigration activity from 7am to 8pm (Hanoi time), one hour later than the current closing time of 7pm.

Time for imports and exports, from 7am to 7pm, will remain unchanged. 
Mong Cai, located in the northern province of Quang Ninh, and China's Dongxing border gates have become important entrepots for goods, investment capital, and travellers between Vietnam and China. 
They are also the only land and sea border gates between the two countries. Dongxing is the most favourable gateway for China's south and southwest regions to trade with Vietnam and other ASEAN countries.
