Chung Ying Street
中英街
A border street with 'one street, two systems', with Shenzhen on one side and Hong Kong on the other. A pass is required to enter.
Chung Ying Street is located in Sha Tau Kok, Yantian District, and is about 250 m long. A boundary stone in the middle of the street divides it between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, a historical witness to the 'one street, two systems' arrangement. The street has the Chung Ying Street History Museum and shops, and was once a shopping paradise. Visitors must carry their ID and apply for a 'Pass for Entering the Sha Tau Kok Chung Ying Street Special Border Management Area', which can be booked online. The pass is valid only on the day of issue. Entry checks are strict, and you may not go beyond the designated street area on the Hong Kong side. It is near Sha Tau Kok Station on Metro Line 8.
