Kunming, Hónghé (China), Lao Cai, Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh (Vietnam) are 6 destinations on the tourist route.
This tour route was launched immediately after China permitted the tour group to visit Vietnam and prior to Vietnam’s request to be more open regarding visa policy. It is seen as a wonderful chance to welcome Chinese visitors.

“We position and create things that are linked with experiences. We want those things to be worth the money people spend, and the metric for this is customer satisfaction.” According to Mr. Le Hong Thai, Director of Hanoitourist Corporation.
