You can pay something like 50 RMB for them to motorbike you through the jungles into Cambodia or Loas (illegally) without any questions asked.

There are also illegal but protected casinos near the Vietnam-China border entry, that only allow in Chinese nationals.

I did it myself. Even stood on the literal border of Vietnam and China. ;-) That is China in the distance and VN is building a wall of some sort. The road that you see is filled with trucks carrying stuff. Last picture is one of the dirt border backroads I was driving on... pretty epic trip.

I also drove into Laos near the north side and all through it as well. The amount of Chinese influence in Laos is overwhelming.
