visit all three of these northern cities in Vn and tell me what are they doing?
as much as I love French architecture, these big French buildings/offices/hotels/apartments....... are something else.

the 3 places: Mong Cai, Hon Gai and Quang Ninh

Vietnam is so French we're Frenchier than the French,,,,,,,,French everywhere in VN........the city of Mong Cai looks so much like a fainty part of Venice or Las Vegas, or Vatican city from the river.

not sure if it's beautiful or ugly, so weird.

any pix?

a classy Holy See...make sure that's not the chinese part.

joshua visit the website

moonsoon have you look at the pictures?
the Vietnamese signs on the buildings, red Vietnamese commie propaganda banners on the street, men wearing commie helmet riding bicycle and you think that's the CHinese side?
I bet ya that's the casino built by VN to lure the Chinese from the other side of the border..........just like in the south,,,,,,,they forbid gambling, so the Cambodian built a casino near the border of 2 countries to lure in the Vietnamese.........the lastest news I read
"90% of attendants are Vietnamese....so are the strippers, the card dealers....etc...in the cambodian casino"

another nice city near the Chinese frontier is Laokai......with big 5 storeys shopping mall and a 20 storeys towers (on VN side) if anyone here visits Laokai could you take pictures for us?

next time I'm back I will visit these unknown destinations in VN and will have picture for everyone.
