    Dong Xing has changed considerably since I was last there in 2004. The main part of the bridge, the river and the bus parking lot look much the same but the sheer volume of tourism has changed this small village. 20 years ago the bus would go through a PLA checkpoint about 45 minutes outside of town. On the other side of the Beilun river there were regular NVA motorcycle patrols. I enjoyed because back then I could set off fireworks in the street. The Australian SBS network had a program entitled "Global Village" which showed night vision of the sanpans that use to cross the river at night. A different world back then.

      I always have a visa before going to Vietnam, like most countries. I don’t think they issue visas on arrival. It also probably depends what passport you have, so you would need to research that.
