| Nanning | Nangfang Hotel in Nanning Posted: Thu February 22, 2007 03:40 AM UTC
We plan to travel from Nanning to Hanoi in March and I've read that there's a direct bus departing from outside the Nangfang Hotel at 07:30.We'll be arriving by air late the night before and want to stay at this hotel, but I can't find any more information about it anywhere. Could any local expert help? Thanks.

Are you absolutely sure about the spelling of the hotel name? I think it should be Nanfang Hotel instead.

Hi Ellyse, Thanks for the info: you’re right – the hotel is called Nanfang and I found where it’s located in Nanning. I’ve seen on the forums that you’re very knowledgeable about the whole area – could I ask you a couple of questions that might also interest others coming from China. I estimate the trip from Nanning to Hanoi by bus (including border checks) will take 7-8 hours. Right? Is the route an interesting one? Will we pass through scenic areas or is it an arid motor route? We also thought about coming south from Kunming via Hekou-Lao Cai and with a side trip to Sapa before going on to Hanoi.
(We want to spend two days in Sapa in any case). Is the border-crossing on this route O.K. provided all the visas are in order? Is it a direct bus from Kunming to Lao Cai or would we have to search around for connections? Lots of questions, but we only have ONE week’s holidays after many strenuous months and we don’t want endless hassles with timetables!! Do you know how long the trip from Kunming to Lao Cai takes and if the scenery merits a day rather than night journey? Sorry for all the questions – I don’t expect you to have all the answers and thanks for your help.

In fact, sorry to disappoint you but I can't answer any of those questions! :( I've never been to Nanning nor Vietnam, and certainly none of those border crossings.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, Ellyse. I guess we'll take the shortest route and hope for a smooth and scenic ride. We'll report back for the record.
