Friendship Pass, Border checkpoint at China-Vietnam border, Guangxi, China
The Friendship Pass connects China and Vietnam through a mountainous passage in Guangxi, featuring designated crossing points for international travel and trade.
The pass changed its name from South Suppressing Pass to Friendship Pass in 1953, reflecting shifting political relations between China and North Vietnam.
Multiple languages recognize this location, from Nam Quan in Vietnamese to Youyi Guan in Chinese, reflecting its role in connecting different societies.
Travelers crossing between nations at Friendship Pass must present valid documentation at designated checkpoints and follow specific border crossing procedures.
The Franco-Qing Convention of 1887 moved the actual border south of the pass, placing it entirely within Chinese territory despite its binational function.
