Tx Toby, I figured the process is the same, but I have never crossed overland. I imagined 2 trestle tables, one for China out and the other Laos in. lol And Mohan international terminal ? I had no idea. I thought next stop was Laos/Botan I look forward to your updates...I may be following in your footsteps one day.
Good luck. Its very fast and convenient, but right now you have to almost cross the border "twice", leave china, enter no mans land, then cross into Laos. Its easy if you are not in a rush.
Good Timing, thank you !!.Just today I looked up a train ride from Kunming to Muhan. I am in AU. My Chinese wife and I are planning to retire in Mile in January. Initially, I'll be on a tourist visa, I will need to leave the country every 3 months. If I may ask, did your passport get stamped in Muhan? Or did you have to enter Laos proper? ( Butan in my case)
Hi Charlie, ill try and get the follow up videos out soon (this is just the first). When you leave China you get the exit stamp and then as you enter Laos you get the Laos entry stamp. Its really like any other border in terms of passport stamps. But the Mohan train station is just a normal train station you have to take the train to the mohan international terminal (approx a further ten minutes on the train) for all the entry and exit stuff,

I don't think there's much of a profit for China. It's very useful for Laos to transport its goods to China, its main importer. Remember, Laos is landlocked.

This is a good debt, the project was completed as planned scheduled and within the budget. And the project is earning to pay back the investment by itself. It turn laos from landlocked to landlink between China and Asean...
@@philipchew9253 I don’t think I am doing that. Instead I’m showing a part of the world most people don’t get to go to and further still a newly developed Train-line in that part of the world.
Those elephants from Xixuangbana during their epic trek last year spent quite a bit of time in Pu'er.

The new video is out. Shows the whole process of taking the train from China into Laos.

sorry to hear that, i find it so time consuming to add subtitles that i have pretty much given up. what subtitles would you like/prefer?
Any EU developed country or The USA would like to build 1000KM Railway for Laos and Laos shoulder 30%( 0.63 Billion） only?
@@RobinChen-q6y your point is that China is willing to spend on more on development of foreign countries?
big profit for china , big debt for lao

Big profit for China also big loans from China, big debt for Laos also huge opportunity for Laos. Don’t be biased

Stop instigating the typical western hates and divisions. Leave the Asian alone they know what's best for themselves. 😅
