13 Awesome Borders from Around the World

Border control is a serious issue in most political territories. Well, with all those attempts at human smuggling, that is kind of expected, right? So to avoid such kinds of things, some countries have rigorous processes in place for those who wish to cross their borders. Some even have heavily guarded walls, complete with massive tanks and armed soldiers.

However, for certain countries, this does not seem to be the case. Some have forests and waterfalls instead of weapons, while others have simple signage instead of walls.

Below is a list of 13 awesome borders from around the world:

1. France and Germany

The two European countries are separated by a lush, green forest.

2. Vietnam and China

Crossing the border between these two countries is guaranteed to give your eyes a treat. Behold – the Detian waterfalls – a magnificent work of nature that is located on the border of Asian countries China and Vietnam.

3. Switzerland and Italy

This is definitely an immaculately pristine border.

4. Romania and Bulgaria

Mother Nature made sure that there was a clear border between these two countries.

7. Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand

The “Golden Triangle” marks the border regions that separate Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Though not actually made of gold, it is called such because of its connection with opium production within the area.

8. Haiti and the Dominican Republic
