For those still unsure about where to go for May Day and the weekend, here's a low-cost day trip to Mong Cai, Vietnam, all within walking distance.

🎫 [Visa Application]: Simply send your passport photo to the travel agency in advance, and your visa will be issued in under an hour! Just bring your passport with you, no need to apply on-site. You can even use the VIP lane at immigration, making it quick and convenient.

🚌 [Transportation]: Take a bus from Nanning East Station to Dongxing City Station, then take a taxi or ride-hailing service to Dongxing Port to meet your guide.

💰 [Currency Exchange]: There are many currency exchange points near Dongxing Port, but RMB is also accepted there. If you're too lazy to exchange for Vietnamese Dong, you can simply bring RMB in cash.

⏰ [Mong Cai Market]: Mong Cai's market is filled with the vibrant atmosphere of life. It offers a wide variety of goods, from local handicrafts to fresh fruits and seafood. Bargain with local vendors and experience authentic Vietnamese street life.

💒 [Century-Old Tra Gu Cathedral]: Tra Gu Cathedral is flanked by twelve life-size, intricately carved white marble statues depicting the story of Jesus. Its Gothic architecture, exquisite murals, and carvings transport you to a European art palace and a witness to history, making you feel like you've traveled back in time.

🕌 [National Unity Square]: A landmark building in Vietnam, it's the venue for major political events and celebrations. Colorful flags flutter across the square, and sculptures and monuments tell the story of the Vietnamese people's unity and struggle.

🌊 [Tra Gu Beach]: Tra Gu Beach faces Wanwei Golden Beach in Dongxing across the sea. The "border zone" on the shore marks Vietnam's northernmost point and also marks the starting point of Vietnam's northernmost zero kilometer highway. The fine sand and clear waters, set against the blue sky and white clouds, create a breathtaking scene.

🧡 [Pre-trip Preparation]: Remember to bring your original passport with you before your trip. You can no longer use your ID card to clear customs; you must obtain a visa with your passport to leave the country.
