The middle of the bridge is the Sino-Vietnamese border, the northern section is under the jurisdiction of the Chinese side, and the southern section is under the jurisdiction of the Vietnamese side. One end is my country Hekou Station, and the other end is Vietnam Lao Cai Station. There is a narrow gauge railway in the middle of the bridge, and cars on both sides of the track bed. After the opening of the Houhekou Sino-Vietnamese Highway Bridge, cars will no longer pass on this bridge. The track surface that the vehicle has repeatedly run over is dazzling in the sun. Beneath the bridge, the Nanxi River is rolling, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway over the past century, and the history of the road from my country's "South Gate" to the opening up of the Asia-Pacific.
