Trieu Thi Tinh, Deputy Director of the Ha Giang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the tour, named "One journey - Two countries", starts at the Tianbao International Border Gate in China’s Yunnan Province, goes through the Thanh Thuy International Border Gate in Ha Giang Province, and ends in Ha Giang City.
In the city, visitors will explore such destinations as the culture and tourism village of Ha Thanh hamlet and Tha hamlet of Phuong Do commune, the March 26 Square, the Provincial Museum, and the Nguyen Trai pedestrian street.
They can also enjoy the cuisine and unique culture of local ethnic groups, Tinh said.

Ltd. and the Ma Li Pho international travel company of Yunnan, is expected to help enhance tourism cooperation between Ha Giang and Yunnan, increase the number of tourists traveling through the Thanh Thuy - Tianbao international border gates, and offer attractive experiences to visitors.
