Day 3 - Sneaky peek at China

After meeting the boom gate keeping us from seeing China yesterday, we headed to some other border areas today (thanks to Google maps) and random sign language communication with local people in the village. At one village we get to the end of the road and see other people taking the rocky pathway over the hill, so decide to see where this takes us. After a short while we see the border mark post, minus the boom gate with a man! And take the customary video of Lila showing she is in Vietnam and then in China. We cross over for a sneaky peak on the Chinese side and find the landscape is the same and if we didn't have Google maps or the border mark post, you would have no idea you were in another country.
In the afternoon we head to another border point which is even smaller and less significant or utilised. We are treated to an amazing view of what seems like a hidden valley on the other side.Leer más
