China DailyPeople visit the China-Vietnam Detian Waterfall cross-border tourism cooperation zone in the border city of Chongzuo in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The May Day holiday is a statutory break in both China and Vietnam, and it is also a peak season for cross-border tourism for people from the two countries. "During the May Day holiday, our agency's more than 20 Vietnamese-speaking tour guides were all booked, and they were simply too busy," said Ye Xiaozhou, deputy general manager of Pingxiang South International Travel Agency Co Ltd, adding that cross-border tourism is recovering rapidly. The China-Vietnam Detian Waterfall cross-border tourism cooperation zone, which began trial operations on Sept 15 in the border city of Chongzuo in Guangxi, has witnessed an increase in the number of tourists from both countries.
