Introducing Nánníng

Nánníng is a hard city to really love. It’s got discouraging urban sprawl, no major sites and even worse, doesn’t inspire the kind of enthusiasm among locals that sometimes win over visitors.

However, Nánníng has one of the friendliest populations of any city in the south and there’s plenty to keep you busy whether you’re just passing through or awaiting for a Vietnam visa.

Běijīng’s thriving border trade and increasingly friendly ties with Hanoi makes Nánníng an ideal base to leave or enter Vietnam, and there are several places in town that can help with travel arrangements.
