What are the border cities with obvious exotic customs?

Border cities generally refer to cities bordering or adjacent to neighboring countries. Because border cities are generally close to neighboring countries or places with special relations, neighboring countries are very different from inland areas in economy, culture and history. So what are the border cities with obvious exotic customs?

2. Alashankou

Alashankou is the only land port in China and Mongolia, which is located on the border of China and Mongolia. Because it is located in the hinterland of Eurasia, it is an important hub of Eurasia Continental Bridge and an important node in the construction of "Belt and Road" and "two corridors and one circle" in China. Alashankou borders Zabulhan, Mongolia, about 400 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.

Alashankou Port, known as the "Asia-Europe Passage", is the most convenient land passage from China to Europe. Every year, nearly 800,000 vehicles enter Central Asian countries through Alashankou, and more than 60% of them enter and leave Mongolia through this passage. Therefore, it is also an important channel for China to trade with Mongolia and other neighboring countries. Therefore, Alashankou is known as the "golden crossroads" on the "Asia-Europe Grand Passage" and has also become one of the important international ports in China. So, if you want to feel exotic, then I suggest you must come here and have a look.
