China-Viet Nam border market throngs with shoppers ahead of Spring Festival

As the Spring Festival approaches, a market in a village of southwest China’s Yunnan Province bordering Viet Nam, has come alive with festive energy, with residents from both sides bustling to prepare.

Chinese ethnic clothing, daily necessities, and farming tools draw strong interest from Vietnamese buyers, while Vietnamese fruits, coffee, and agricultural products are flying off the shelves among Chinese customers.

During the Spring Festival period, the China-Viet Nam border is expected to see a surge both in passenger trips and cargo volume.
