Why Vietnam is a popular destination for Chinese tourists

Chen Ying, a 27-year-old traveler from Beijing, often visits Vietnam for holidays.

She likes Vietnam because of its beautiful beaches and delicious seafood.

Chen feels safe in Vietnam at all times.

Over 6.76 million international visitors came to Vietnam in the first quarter of 2026, with 1.4 million from China.

In 2025, Vietnam had 21 million international visitors, including 5.3 million Chinese.

Deputy Minister Ho An Phong says tourism with China is important for Vietnam's growth.

The two countries have cultural and historical ties that help tourism.

Traveling between China and Vietnam is easy due to many border crossings and transport options.

They share a 1,450-kilometer land border and have flights between major cities.

Travel industry representatives point to close diplomatic relations and cultural affinity.

Nguyen Tien Dat says tourism promotion campaigns have helped keep Chinese visitors coming.

Low travel costs are another reason Chinese tourists like Vietnam.

Chinese tourists often choose Vietnam over Hainan Island for beach holidays.

Traveling inside Vietnam is cheap and of good quality.

Chen says traveling to Da Nang can be cheaper than to Hainan.

Chinese tourists spend a lot on food, spa services, and retail products.

They like Vietnam's fresh seafood, local experiences, and comfortable accommodation.

Encouraging Chinese tourists to spend more is a priority for Vietnam's tourism.

To attract more Chinese tourists, Vietnam should offer specialized services like wellness retreats.

Vietnam needs to simplify entry procedures and increase flights.

Creating duty-free shopping and entertainment centers will encourage Chinese tourists to spend more.

The tourism ministry wants to diversify its markets due to global challenges.

Vietnam is focusing on Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Russia, and India.

The Chinese market has potential due to bilateral ties.

A visit from General Secretary and President To Lam to China could bring opportunities.

The ministry has provided guidance to implement points from the Joint Statement to transform the tourism sector.
