Guangxi border trade is mainly conducted with Vietnam. As the only one minority autonomous region in China with coast, border and river, Guangxi has superior geographical environment and position advantages. It has 1595 kilometers coastline, 21 quality sea ports to be developed. The closest waterway to Vietnamese coast is only 150 sea miles. Seven counties and cities of Guangxi border on Vietnam, with 1020 kilometers of land border line.

These are great advantages for developing Guangxi-Vietnam trade markets. Abundant resources in the southwest provinces of China can be exported and transited from Guangxi conveniently. Sino-Vietnam Railway Pingxiang Port has already recovered operation since 1997. A three-dimension traffic network of sea, land and air has taken shape, offering convenient transportation for border trade development.

Soft investment environment has been improving year by year. In recent years Guangxi has made a series of official documents to encourage border trade development. All of these offer convenient terms for Sino-Vietnam border trade development.
