Tra Linh checkpoint

Tra Linh checkpoint is a border crossing point linking Vietnam and China with separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians. The facility includes divided corridors designed to handle different types of border movement.

The border passage system developed after Vietnam and China normalized diplomatic relations in 1991. This checkpoint marked an important shift in how the two countries managed cross-border movement and cooperation.

Local traders from both sides gather here to buy and sell goods, creating a mixed market that reflects daily cross-border connections between communities.

Visitors need a valid passport, appropriate visa, and completed customs documents to cross here. It helps to check opening hours in advance before planning your crossing.

The checkpoint handles both goods and people, with separate routes designed to keep each type of traffic flowing smoothly. This setup helps manage heavy daily volumes without mixing the two flows.
