China and Vietnam issued a “Joint Declaration” on October 14. The two sides jointly announced the official operation of the Sino-Vietnamese Detian Waterfall Cross-border Tourism Cooperation Zone. The China-Vietnam Detian Waterfall Cross-border Tourism Cooperation Zone began trial operation on September 15, 2023. It is the first cross-border tourism cooperation zone in China. After the cooperation zone is officially put into operation, the relevant departments will further optimize the cross-border tour model for tourists: the first is to expand the scale. The number of people crossing the border was raised from the daily limit of 500 to 1,000 for each party, and adjusted dynamically according to the number of visitors crossing the border in a single day. The second is to extend the time. The opening hours of the cooperative zone were adjusted from 10:00 to 17:00 Beijing time to 09:00 to 18:00, and the tour time for each tour group was extended from 5 hours to 6 hours on the other side. The third is to optimize cross-border procedures. Using the “Face Brushing Office” certification method, visitors can make an appointment in the “Gui Police Pass” applet to automatically authenticate and complete the reservation to achieve “one-window access” services for immigration, household administration, and traffic police; visitors with passports do not need to apply for additional documents and can visit the cooperative area after being organized by the scenic spot operator. Fourth, simplify the procedure for declaring items to be carried. Simplify the application procedure for visitors to carry common devices such as cameras and camcorders, use new technology to inspect personnel and carry items, and provide a new experience of unsensitive customs clearance.
