Dongxing overview 东兴

Dongxing’s city visit can focus on the built landscape beside the border rather than a border crossing itself.

About Dongxing

The Ho Chi Minh pavilion near the port area has a hexagonal tiled roof and an inscribed stone recording a diplomatic visit. Chen Jitang’s residence provides a contrasting domestic compound, with a two-storey Western-style house, enclosing brick walls and defensive gate towers. Together these sites show how trade, residence and border administration have shaped the town.

What to look for

  • The Ho Chi Minh pavilion has a six-sided roof supported by round stone columns around an inscribed stone.
  • Chen Jitang’s residence combines a Western-style main house with brick enclosure and defensive gate towers.

Getting to Dongxing

For the historic residence, use 12-1 Minghong Road in Huaxi Community, Dongxing Town. The Ho Chi Minh pavilion is beside the southern side of the older port building in Zhongshan Community; plan a separate local transfer between the two.
