The China-Lao border at B. Pangha. November 2017.

The China-Lao border at B. Pangha. I am on the Laos side.

You see the man on the blue bike on the right? He will soon be getting off his bike, walking it across those red and white stripes (into China) and then getting back on and riding it on the other side.

Can you guess why? Give it a try ?
