China and Vietnam have announced plans to expand cross-border self-driving tours to boost tourism in the two countries.
On June 1, China and Vietnam will launch self-driving routes from the southern Chinese cities of Guilin and Fangchenggang to Mong Cai and Ha Long City in Vietnam.
The original self-driving route was launched between Fangchenggang and Mong Cai in November 2016. Vietnam has also allowed the northern Quang Ninh Province to pilot self-drive tours from China to Ha Long City since March.

Self-driving tours through the Vietnam-China border have become popular since the launch of the Fangchenggang-Mong Cai route.
The number of outbound tourists from Fangchenggang rose to more than 3.1 million in 2017.
