It is located near China's border with Vietnam, opposite the Trà Lĩnh District on the Vietnamese side.

Border crossing

At the Longbang Border Crossing (龙邦口岸) (22°52′N 106°20′E / 22.867°N 106.333°E / 22.867; 106.333) just south of town, Guangxi provincial highway 210 (S210) reaches the international border. There are also plans to extend the Tiandong-Debao rail line (a branch of the Nanning-Kunming Railway) to the Longbang border crossing.

According to a local travel guide site, there is a large market near the border crossing, where goods imported from Vietnam are sold.
