Well, it's a very broad subject to answer. There's a lot to see and do in both countries, so you'll probably have to narrow it down a bit to get useful answers. Generally I'll suggest that you start in Hanoi and end up somewhere in China where you can get a flight home (or vice versa). This way you won't have to backtrack. You can easily cross the border by train or bus. In south China I enjoyed Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi and Guizhou provinces, which offers minorities, nature, history and culture.
Narrow it down and ask again, and I'm sure you'll get useful info.
