The Spring Festival holiday also witnessed a surge in self-drive tours along the China-Vietnam border. Popular destinations included the China-Vietnam Detian-Ban Gioc Waterfall Cross-Border Tourism Cooperation Zone, located in Daxin in Guangxi, which spans the border with Trung Khanh district in Vietnam's Cao Bang Province.
According to local cultural and tourism authorities in Guangxi, Daxin county received a total of 945,100 visitors during the Spring Festival holiday, generating nearly $69 million in tourism revenue.
In response to sustained demand, railway officials said they are collaborating with Vietnam Railways to add extra carriages, primarily soft sleepers, which will increase capacity by approximately 20 percent.
