Most of its residents speak Zhuang dialects.[4] Its main touristic sight are the Pogala underground defense works, an underground fortification built in 1892.[5][6]
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) 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.[7]
According to a local travel guide site, there is a large market near the border crossing, where goods imported from Vietnam are sold.[8]
