<content:encoded><![CDATA[I don't think Hekou is changing anytime soon, so this over six month old info should still be good. Answer is: No.

It's physically possible to just exit China and walk back downstairs and re-enter without even crossing the bridge to the Vietnam side. However, last time I asked if it was possible to do this, and the answer seemed to be "no." The actual answer was "go get a visa from a travel agency in town" to my couple of attempts at asking. So, I assume they still won't let you out without a Viet visa. This was not an issue for me as I already got one in Kunming.

If you're not opposed to staying a night in Hekou, you could try to exit-reenter. Maybe it works. If it doesn't, you just pay the same 400rmb to some travel agency in town for a Viet visa and then cross. But make sure you got a few days left.]]></content:encoded>
