Crossing the Border from Laos to China + China Travel Tips, July 12 2015

Luang Namtha, Laos >> Jinghong, China

we booked a bus with an agency in Luang Namtha (100,000 Kip per ticket)  scheduled to leave at 7:30 am , and the price was supposed to include pick up to the bus station. When we showed up for pick up we saw the place was closed and no one in sight to help us.

Northern Laos- Jungle Fever in Udomxai and Luang Namtha, 9-11 July 2015

We headed further north to Luang Namtha intending to spend a few days there before crossing the border to China. In order to avoid another long exhausting ride we decided to stopover in Udomxai (sometimes called Maung Xai) for the night and continue to Luang Namtha the next day.
