Hanoi To Huu Nghi International Border Gate Route: Distance & Travel Time

Huu Nghi International Border Gate is located in Lang Son Province, approximately 170–175 km from central Hanoi, depending on your accommodation’s exact location. The journey typically takes just over 3,5 hours by car via the CT01 Expressway and National Highway 1A. At present, this is one of the fastest and most convenient routes between the two destinations, offering a smooth, hassle-free journey commonly chosen by local drivers.

Main Route: Hanoi → Bac Ninh → Bac Giang → Lang Son → Dong Dang → Huu Nghi Border Gate.

With current road and traffic conditions, travellers can easily reach the border gate from Hanoi by road to complete their visa renewal procedures. The most common transportation options include public buses, shared cars, and, most notably, private cars. For a more convenient and flexible journey, many international travellers prefer hiring a private car with an experienced local driver.

On the other hand, public buses and shared cars are generally less flexible, as they usually do not provide door-to-door service. Although these options may be more affordable initially, guests often need to arrange an additional taxi ride to reach the border gate, which can increase the overall cost. Furthermore, these services typically operate one-way, meaning tourists must arrange their own transportation back to Hanoi, which can be quite inconvenient.
