HCMC – Border gates in the northern province of Lang Son have remained operational in the ongoing National Day holiday, ensuring a steady flow of goods in and out of Vietnam.
Local authorities have plans to facilitate customs clearance and manage traffic during the holiday from August 31 to September 3.
The Vietnam News Agency reported that Lang Son’s international border gates between Vietnam and China, including Huu Nghi, Tan Thanh, Coc Nam, Chi Ma, and Dong Dang railway station, have maintained regular operations.
