Immediately got a ride to Hanoi with a sleeper bus after making it clear I couldn’t pay for the ride.―Arphile

Just stood at the highway entrance with a 河口 sign and got a ride relatively quickly. Mengzi railway station isn’t too far if you fail to get a ride and need to get out of China asap―Arphile

Not sure, but I ended up paying for the ride from here (5 Euro). He commercial driver took me right to the border. There are some checkpoint on the way. They will ask you some questions and tell you that you kinda need to cross if you go further. I'm not sure if it's legally allowed to hh across those checkpoints (they are further south, before the city), but taking the commercial ride which was arranged by my last drier who took me for free, was a good idea.The border was open at 6pm (chinese time) and should be open till 10pm. Chinese side is very modern and quick, Vietnam is rather slow but works too. I really enjoyed this trip across China and can recommend it to anyone (as long as you're not bothered by the police and politics, don't close your eyes too much and always be aware of the background you're moving in)!!
Good luck!

This is where trucks leave after passing customs from Vietnam. I didn't personally have any luck here, but that could have been because I got there late in the day and they weren't going far. Also locals there getting picked up, but seemed to be prearranged.―Chthonicagendas
