this is a trip with the journey truly surpasses the destinations, as evocative as the names Hong Kong Hanoi Sapa Dien Bien Phu and Luang Prabang may be. You’ll be enmeshed in the factories and flyovers of Guangdong in the retro comfort of your soft sleeper berth on an old green skin train, wake up to rice noodles in Nanning, switch trains for a ride through stunning limestone cast scenery down to the friendship border, where we will have lunch in no man’s land in a border dedicated to making sure everyone knows what great friends China and Vietnam are.
