Located in the southern section of the China-Laos borderline and bordering with the Mohan Port in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Moding is an important border city in Luang Namtha Province, Laos, and is known as the "Gateway to Northern Laos". As a key node of the China-Laos Economic Corridor, since its establishment in 2011, the Special Economic Zone of Maoting has gradually developed into a comprehensive hub integrating logistics, trade, manufacturing and tourism, relying on the opening of the China-Laos Railway. With a pleasant tropical climate and a tributary of the Mekong River running through the city, it combines natural ecology and border flavor. In recent years, with the liberalization of cross-border trade policies and the improvement of infrastructures, Maoding has attracted a large amount of foreign investment, especially featuring casino entertainment and duty-free shopping, and has become an emerging tourist destination and economic cooperation platform in Southeast Asia.
