About
Located in Shatoujiao, Yantian District of Shenzhen, Chung Ying Street stretches for 250 meters with a boundary stone dividing Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It is a nationally protected cultural relic and patriotic education base, dotted with old arcades, duty-free shops, the History Museum and the Warning Bell. The whole street is free to visit, yet visitors need a free border management pass to enter, blending profound modern history, cross-border shopping and Hong Kong-style streetscape photography.
