Re: Hekou (Border town between Vietnam and China)
Something I copied from "Fun in Vietnam" of the Delphi Forum a long time ago.
"There are actually 2 or 3 different places. But don't
imagine this is holliday places like Pattaya or K11.
You neeed to have your Chinese visa prior to arrival,
then travel by train or coach in the Chinese
countryside, where nobody speaks english. No bars, no
western food, no modern disco... This is deep China.
You can't go just for 3 days, but rather for one week.
This is a destination for real sex-plorers who like
adventure and some difficulty. Having said that,
dangers and risk are nil, and fun is garanty.
1) The most important place is also the less
accessible : Hekou (Yunnan province), across Lao Cai
(near Sapa). Reachable by train from Hanoi (half day)
or Kunming (overnight) by train. Douzens of girls
young Viet girls in the town market, working in K11
style "barber shops". A creasy sleasy atmosphere in
the whole town, which economy lives from the sex
business in my opinion."
The information may be outdated.
