As usual, Mohan Port on the border of China and Laos is open and ready at 8:30 a.m. Various vehicles queue up along Dongmeng Avenue for clearance including passenger buses labeled “Kunming [China]-Vientiane [Laos]” or “Kunming [China]-Houayxay [Laos].” At the same time, cargo begins quickly passing through Hekou Port as trains on metergauge railways chug along across the border. Everything runs in an orderly and efficient manner. Such scenes can also be seen in Qingshuihe National Port in Mengding Town of Gengma Dai and Va Autonomous County in Lincang City and Houqiao Port in Tengchong City. At border ports in Yunnan Province, shuttling lorries and trucks carry China’s construction materials and daily necessities to South and Southeast Asian countries and return with bananas, pineapples, rubber, rice and other agricultural products.
