Bring identification when traveling to the border area
You are required to bring along identification documents including your identity card and passport to present to the authorities when necessary. It is important to register in these localities with temporary registration with the border guard station or the commune government.

Developing a roadmap should stop in the right residential area
Tourist destinations in the border area are attractive but often located in high mountains. This place is mainly inhabited by ethnic minority people. The crowded residential areas are usually a few dozen kilometers away from each other. So you should calculate ahead of the trip itinerary to make sure to stop in the right residential area and limit movement when it is dark, because highland roads are difficult to walk, easy to get lost and do not guarantee safety when You are unfamiliar with the road but moving at night.

Respect for native culture and nature
You should also learn about customs and habits, individual behavior of each ethnic group before the trip to easily communicate with indigenous people and do not commit taboo, abstinence. The best way is before you want to do anything, ask the indigenous people here to see if there is any abstinence. At the same time, you also have the responsibility to protect the nature and traditional culture of the people from the smallest things such as not cutting trees, deforestation, littering and not showing discrimination and disparaging attitude. Excessive action before difficult life and local customary activities.
