Binh Lieu tourism in 2025 is anticipating a surge in Chinese tourists with the implementation of border crossings at the Hoanh Mo (Vietnam) - Dong Trung (China) bilateral border gate. Currently, relevant agencies and the Hoanh Mo Border Gate Management Board have prepared the necessary technical and human resources, and are actively coordinating with the Fangcheng District government (China) to soon allow citizens of both countries to cross the border at the Hoanh Mo border gate.
