The participants were either relatives or friends. They travelled in small groups all the way long. All groups left HO CHI MINH CITY by train. They passed HANOI and arrived at HONG GAI in three days. At HONG GAI, some of them employed the locals to guide them to DONG XING (
) at a price
of $120,000 Dongs per adult. The rest tried their luck at the border and the majority crossed the border by small boats at a fare of RMB $0.5 or $2,000 Dongs per head. Several of them had been stopped by V.N. officials though they were let go to China after body search. All the valuables found were inpounded.
It took them nine days to gather again at DONG XING HUA QIAO LU SHEFFIE 彩会
). There, they met three ECVs who agreed to escort them to TAI PING.
