The zone borders on Bohan in Yunnan province, China, and is part of the rapidly-growing economic cooperation between Laos and China.

In 2016 the zone covered 16.4 sq km but is now being extended to over 700 hectares. A full range of utilities is being installed along with a six-lane highway and other infrastructure.
