The street, which is only about 4 meters wide, is a unique one-street-two-systems in the world and a microcosm of "one country, two systems".
Before Hong Kong's return to China in 1997, the east side of the street belonged to China and the west side to Britain, so it was called Sino-British Street.
Things are extremely cheap due to the tax-free advantage. There are many shops along the street with goods from five continents. But be careful when buying.
People who come here will take photos with the boundary stones, but due to natural weathering, they have lost their edges and corners, and some of the words have become blurred.

Zhongying Street is one of the eight scenic spots in Shenzhen, but it is a tasteless tourist attraction. Most people go to Zhongying Street for duty-free goods, but now it is more convenient to travel to Hong Kong and go abroad, and the only travel significance here is the landmark. Zhongying Street is located in Yantian District, Shenzhen. There is no subway at present. You can go from Xiasha to Sanjiadian by bus M520 or 103, and then walk there.
Zhongying Street is a border area, with Shenzhen on one side and Hong Kong on the other, so you need to apply for a border pass there. It is recommended to download the WeChat applet "In Yantian" on your mobile phone to make an appointment to apply for a border pass online, and then you can print the border pass on the automatic printer where the white clothes are located in the picture below, so as to avoid queuing.
Overall it is quite unique. There are many people shopping and there are many people queuing up to apply for passes on site. We made an online reservation one day in advance and went to the self-service ticket pick-up. Some things are indeed cheap, while others don't feel that cheap. Of course, most of them are foreign products. In addition, the Sino-British Street Museum is very good. It shows the ins and outs of the entire Sino-British Street very well. You can also walk on the seaside boardwalk. Opposite is Hong Kong. I suggest you go and experience it.
It seems that most people come here to shop. After all, there are so many duty-free goods from all over the world. Therefore, there are not many tourists at all, which leads to the crowded Zhongying Street. But if you walk further in and reach the seaside boardwalk, there are very few people and you can enjoy some time alone.
The Sino-British Street Museum is well worth a visit and is very carefully designed.

Ticket information: Free, but you must make an online reservation in advance through the "Sha Tau Kok Border Special Administration Area Pass Application Mini Program" or the "i Yantian" official account and bring your original valid ID card and arrive at the Sha Tau Kok Border Special Administration Area checkpoint during the reservation period.
Other suggestions: (1) If you plan to go shopping, it is recommended that you prepare shopping bags, two-wheeled carts, suitcases and other storage items in advance;
(2) Popular shopping items include: ① household items (detergent, shower gel, shampoo, seasoning, etc.), ② household medicines (Hexing Baihua Oil, Weixian U, Laba Zhenglu Pills, Renzi Jiuxin Pills, Oronain Ointment, Xingfu Shangfengsu, Pain-breaking Oil, Baoyingdan, Fubiao Qufeng Oil), ③ milk powder, baby products (each person can bring 4 cans of milk powder, which is generally not checked at the customs, baby diapers, bottles and nipples, etc.), ④ cosmetics (Hada Labo, facial cleanser, etc.). Since there is no need to collect customs duties, many imported goods are much cheaper than those in the mainland. If you buy a lot, it is usually enough to use for half a year, especially milk powder;
(3) Payment can be made via Alipay, WeChat, RMB and HKD. If the purchase amount is large, it is recommended to pay online directly;
(4) Regarding prices, they are generally cheaper than those in mainland Hong Kong stores. For example, milk powder in Chung Ying Street is at least RMB 50 cheaper per can than in mainland Hong Kong stores, and at least RMB 20 cheaper than online shopping (because of the tax savings). The more you buy, the more you save.
(5) Mainland residents cannot use the Hong Kong and Macau Pass to go directly to Hong Kong from Chung Ying Street. To enter Chung Ying Street, they must apply for a special pass. They cannot enter without an appointment. An appointment must be made two days in advance. Currently, the maximum number of appointments can be made is within three days (including the current day). Each mobile phone can make appointments for up to 5 people at the same time;
(6) After making a reservation, the time cannot be changed and you can only travel on the same day. If the reservation is successful on the same day, the time difference will not affect the trip. For example, if you make an appointment for 11 am, you can go in the afternoon;
(7) People over 60 years old do not need to make an appointment. Infants (0-1 years old) can go to the window to apply for a pass with their birth certificate and household registration booklet. Minors under 16 years old need to make an appointment and can apply for a pass with their child’s ID card or household registration booklet. If the automatic card machine cannot issue the pass, you can go to the manual window to apply;
(8) People with Shenzhen household registration can make an appointment once every 7 days, and non-Shenzhen household registration can make an appointment once every 30 days;
(9) When the number of reservations for the day is full, the person who made the reservation can apply for a standby reservation. Being on the standby list does not mean that the reservation is successful. If someone cancels the reservation, the system will give priority to arranging an appointment for the standby person.
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
One side of the Sino-British Street is managed by Shenzhen while the other side is managed by Hong Kong. All commodities are priced in Hong Kong dollars, which is much cheaper than usual when converted into RMB.
Half of the Zhongying Street belongs to Shenzhen, and the other half belongs to Hong Kong. There is a Zhongying Street History Museum there that is worth a visit. It is free and closed on Mondays. There are many Hong Kong goods stores on the street, all of which are relatively cheap. The largest one is the China-Hong Kong Shopping Center. When you leave Zhongying Street, the border inspection will check your receipt to prevent smuggling. Enter the street from the upper side, and leave the street from the town through the residents' passage. You can make an appointment in advance.
I first visited on June 11, 1999. I visited again on July 13-14, 2019, after a lapse of 20 years! People have changed, and today is not the same as yesterday. I can only sigh that time flies and life is like a dream!
The 4-meter-wide street is a unique one-street-two-systems street in the world, and a microcosm of "one country, two systems". Before Hong Kong's return to China in 1997, the east side of the street belonged to China, and the west side to Britain, so it was called Sino-British Street.
Zhongying Street, located in Shatoujiao Town, Yantian District, Shenzhen, was formed by the siltation of the riverbed flowing from Wutong Mountain to Dapeng Bay. It was originally named "Heron Path". It is less than 0.5 kilometers long and less than 7 meters wide. The center of the street is divided by a "boundary stone". There are many shops on the street, with products from five continents and a complete variety.
The museum houses more than a thousand modern and contemporary historical relics, folk relics and more than a thousand precious photos. There are four exhibition halls in the museum, namely: the first exhibition - historical evolution and living customs; the second exhibition hall - Donghe Market, British occupation, "3.18" boundary survey; the third exhibition hall - Anti-Japanese and national salvation, liberation, border defense restricted area; the fourth exhibition hall - Reform and opening up, the realization of a century-old dream and a better tomorrow. http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/16063173.html
Why do I have to comment twice every time to take effect? I'm tired of it.
A shopping place selling Hong Kong products. There is a museum at the end.
Learn about the history and experience the "one street, two systems". It is very convenient to go there now. It only takes a few minutes to get there with your ID card. There is not much to buy there. I think you can consider buying some food or some low-priced cosmetics.
It was my mother who suggested we come and take a look. After all, Zhongying Street is a product of a historical stage, and I wanted to take a walk and have a look. In fact, I have been there before when I was on a business trip, so it was quite smooth to get here.
Let me explain here. First, it is very difficult to park here. We searched for a long time before a community was willing to let us park. We were lucky. The parking fee was not expensive, it seemed to be 6 yuan in total. Second, it is much more convenient to apply for a border pass now than before. I remember that I used to apply for it at the border police station. There was a break at noon, and there were a lot of people queuing up. So when I went there before, I applied through a travel agency, which cost me 30 yuan more. Now it is very simple. Just swipe the second-generation ID card on the machine and you can get it immediately.
After a walk around the store, I found that the things inside were indeed very cheap. Maybe because it was duty-free, there were a lot of people shopping there. But if you really want to come here to shop, remember to bring Hong Kong dollars, because the prices here are in Hong Kong dollars. If you use RMB, it is calculated at an exchange rate of 1 to 9, which is not very cost-effective.
There is a memorial hall of the Chung Ying Street, but we were not able to go in because it was closed on the day we went. There is a seaside trail behind it, and Hong Kong should be on the other side. Then we walked to this street, which should be the real Chung Ying Street. There were armed police standing guard. One side of this street is the mainland and the other side is Hong Kong.
It's a place worth visiting, there are many people there, you need to apply for a pass, which can be done with your ID card, it's relatively simple, there is a duty-free shop inside, you can have a good shopping.
If you want to go to the Zhongying Street, you need to make a reservation. In 2017, it cost 10 yuan, and then you will be given a receipt. Don't lose it, you need to collect it when you go back. Generally, they sell things, such as milk powder, and it's nice to take a stroll.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, with products from five continents and a wide variety. Due to the tax-free advantage, the prices are much cheaper than in the mainland, so this street has become a shopping destination. We also bought some dried fruits and other foods.
I walked around the periphery and felt that there was nothing special. I don’t know if I didn’t take the right route. I didn’t find any food or fun things to do. I think it would be better to go directly to Hong Kong to buy things after arriving in Shenzhen!
If you don't want to check in, you don't have to go, after all, it's far away.
1. Transportation is not particularly convenient
There is no direct subway. Although bus routes 202, 205, 360, 364 and 358 get off at Sha Tau Kok Customs and go 1,000 meters ahead, and minibus routes 785 and 68 go directly to the customs, if these buses are not near your departure point, it will be inconvenient for you to reverse the bus yourself.
2. Not much value for visiting.
Although it is very famous and has a certain historical significance, for ordinary tourists, it is just a small village at the junction of Shenzhen and Hong Kong and there is not much special to see. Although there are some special buildings, most of them are ordinary houses and there is nothing to see.
3. You can buy a lot of things tax-free. But most of them are fakes. If you don’t have a keen eye, you can only look at them.
If you don't go shopping or buy anything, you can finish the tour of this Sino-British Street in half an hour. I personally think that if you are just going on a normal trip, it is not suitable to go there. Of course, if you live nearby, or really want to buy duty-free goods, or check in, there is nothing wrong with going there.
Tips:
1 Although no tickets are required, a 10 yuan pass fee is required to pass the border.
2 If you don't join a tour group or buy other special packages, if you go there by yourself, you have to queue up at the area code, get the certificate, plus security check and customs clearance, which is estimated to take at least one or two hours. It will take longer during the peak season. Therefore, if you must go there, please calculate the travel time in advance to avoid exceeding the budget too much and affecting other itineraries.
The current Zhongying Street is basically not a must-see attraction except for its historical significance. Most of the people who come here are tour groups participating in Shenzhen tours, and the sense of immersion is not particularly good.
I went there stupidly in the afternoon without a reservation.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the afternoon and there was basically no queue. I finished the procedures at 15:30 and the visa was valid until 18:00.
So, take a walk around first, go in the morning or at noon, and maybe you can have a meal.
It's just a shopping street, no scenery to speak of.
It is said that fake goods are rampant, so I didn't wander around. I bought a few hundred yuan worth of snacks at Bo Ji at the entrance of the museum. At least they won't be fake.
Walking inside, there is a tower courtyard. The tower has not been closed yet, but it is dark and there are no lights. You can climb up and look out at the harbor on this side and Hong Kong on the other side.
I didn't go around the museum in detail and just counted the time.
At 17:30, various shops began to close one after another. I didn't buy much, and there was no inspection when I left the customs.
Just across the street you will reach the Inner Harbor. There are a lot of daily necessities and many foreign snacks. Don't buy cigarettes there, many of them are fake. There are a lot of people when you go out of the customs. It's so crowded that shopping is restricted and foreigners are restricted to enter and leave once a month. Go for a stroll when you have time.
My impression of this place is just average. The street is not long. People always ask you if you can bring goods when you go in and out. I am not interested in these duty-free goods. I originally wanted to visit the Zhongying Street History Museum, but it was under renovation, so I ended the trip hastily. However, when I was leaving the customs, I saw the sea that I could see as far as the eye could see, which saved my impression of this place. I would also like to inform you that the 10 yuan tax for entering the customs is no longer collected here, and it is not collected from anyone.
When you arrive in Shenzhen, you must go to Zhongying Street. There are many small shops selling daily necessities on both sides of the street.
Zhongying Street, located in Shatoujiao Street, Yantian District, Shenzhen, was formed by the siltation of the riverbed flowing from Wutong Mountain to Dapeng Bay. It was originally named "Heron Path". It is less than 0.5 kilometers long and less than 7 meters wide. The center of the street is divided by a "boundary stone". There are many shops on the street, with products from five continents and a complete variety.
Zhongying Street is very famous in Shenzhen, but now it has become a shopping street. The things sold there are both real and fake. There is a place where border guards stand in the middle, and walking in is Shatoujiao, Hong Kong.
If you go to Zhongying Street by yourself, you need to make an appointment in advance and bring your ID card. You need to go through the entry procedures. There is currently only one duty-free shop, and the other largest duty-free shop seems to be open at the end of the year. The other shops on the street are said to be small grocery stores, and the probability of counterfeit goods is high. The lighters sold in the duty-free shops are actually not allowed on airplanes, so when you see them, don't be misled by the salesperson.
There will be some people who ask you to help carry some goods out. It is said that the punishment is very severe if you are caught, so just take care of yourself. Also, don't go into the alleys because you may be fined. After all, you have crossed the line. So you can only walk along the long street in the middle to buy some things.
However, the price of TF lipstick here is more favorable than that of Korean duty-free shops, and Zhonghua soft-shell cigarettes are said to be 100 or 200 yuan cheaper than outside. If you are interested, you can buy daily necessities within 3,000 yuan.
Zhongying Street, a street created by Empress Dowager Cixi. If there was no Empress Dowager Cixi, there would be no Zhongying Street. If there was no Eight-Power Allied Forces, there would be no Zhongying Street. Should we thank her or hate her?
The local customs are very strong. Hong Kong is just across the ditch. The streets are full of shops selling Hong Kong products, but there are very few public toilets. You can go and take a look, but there is no point in staying there for a long time.
There are two systems on one street. On one side are shops in the mainland and on the other side are shops in Hong Kong. There are many duty-free shops. They basically sell cosmetics, medicines, cigarettes and leather goods. I am not sure if they are genuine, so I dare not buy them. The street gives me a dirty and messy feeling. You need to apply for a temporary pass before you go. It is free to apply. Just bring your ID card.
Download the [In Yantian] public account on your mobile phone in advance and make an appointment. You will be notified if the appointment is successful. Then go to get the number and exchange it for a pass at the appointment time, and then you can go in. I didn't need to pay a penny when I went there during the Spring Festival this year. The things inside are super cheap, but some things are rarely seen outside. After I bought them, I searched and found that the prices are about the same. Cigarettes are incredibly cheap. I personally can't believe whether it is true or not. Different people have different opinions.
Travel tips, be sure to bring your ID card, and it's free now. You can make an appointment in advance, follow the official account in Yantian, choose a time period, or draw a number directly, but there are so many people, you have to queue, and it's a waste of time. I basically went to this place today, and now I'm going back to the hotel to put my phone away, and I'm going to Hong Kong tomorrow. There is a store called Bonjour inside, which is quite cheap, you can buy some.
Zhongying Street used to be very lively, but now it is deserted, but as a historical place it is still worth a visit.
As independent travel becomes more and more popular, this place has naturally become more and more deserted, with its historical significance outweighing its tourism value.
This small street is actually a one country, two systems street. There are many things sold there, but I don't know if they are real or fake.
Zhongying Street, located in Shatoujiao Street, Yantian District, Shenzhen, was formed by the siltation of the riverbed flowing from Wutong Mountain to Dapeng Bay. It was originally named "Heron Path". The center of the street is divided by a "boundary stone". There are many shops on the street, with products from five continents and a complete variety. Because people who come to the special zone have to go to the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau to apply for a "special pass to the border restricted area" to enter "Zhongying Street", "Zhongying Street" is called the "special zone" in the special zone.
Come here, you must experience it. One street, two systems. On one side is Shenzhen, and on the other side is Hong Kong. On the Hong Kong side, you can only walk around the shops on the first floor and cannot enter the alleys. Once you enter, you will be considered an illegal trespasser. In addition, if someone gives you money to take things out, you must not take them out, as many of them are contraband. But you must look carefully when shopping, because many things here are made in China, and most of them are made in Zhuhai.
A very interesting attraction because of its unique historical background
It should be noted that you need to bring your ID card to apply for a pass, and the application deadline is 16:00 in the afternoon. You will not be able to enter after this time!
In fact, the place is very small. It is just a commercial street, and a small street at that. But I was still very satisfied to see the boundary marker with my own eyes and walk the so-called boundary between China, Britain, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. What’s interesting is that the location shows that I have arrived in Hong Kong~ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think those who like humanistic feelings can come here for a visit!
The significance of the dividing line between the two streets has become history, but you can still appreciate the different styles of markets in the two places and buy items with Hong Kong characteristics.
Zhongying Street is located in the southern part of Shatoujiao Town in the east of Shenzhen. It is a small street less than 250 meters long and less than 4 meters wide. Before Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 1997, the east side of the street belonged to China and the west side belonged to Britain. After the return in 1997, the east side belonged to Shenzhen and the west side belonged to Hong Kong, which is a microcosm of "one street, two systems".
With reverence for history, I visited the Zhongying Street. I didn't go shopping or visit stores, but just to see the monument on Zhongying Street, the boundary markers, and the lives of the residents on the other side of the border, to satisfy the curiosity that has existed in my heart since childhood. Overall, I feel that the shopping function of Zhongying Street has declined, and experiencing the reality of "one country, two systems" has become the main purpose of the tour. It is a big deal if you don't visit Zhongying Street when visiting Shenzhen. By the way, if you drive a private car to Zhongying Street, it is best not to take the newly opened expressway, but take the original winding mountain road. It is also a pleasant thing to walk along the border isolation zone and the Chinese side to see the undeveloped original ecological mountainous area on the Hong Kong side. (During the Spring Festival, many tourists took photos, so it was inconvenient. The people in the photos are not me)
It is not recommended to buy expensive items such as digital products and gold, stone and jade, as it is very easy to be deceived. Other things such as clothes can be purchased in moderation, and they seem to be cheaper than other places.
The Zhongying Street is only about 200 meters long. On one side are shops from Hong Kong, and on the other side are shops from Shenzhen. Now that it is very convenient to go to Hong Kong, the Zhongying Street has gradually declined. There are no big shops here, and it is said that there are many fake goods. It is just a tourist attraction.
The bungalows on the right are shops in Hong Kong, and the shops on the left are shops in Shenzhen. The stone in the middle is a boundary marker, with Hong Kong on the left and Shenzhen on the right. Standing at the boundary marker of Zhongying Street and looking at the border checkpoint, not many people come to Zhongying Street, only some tourists come to visit.
On the fourth day, we came to Shenzhen Zhongying Street. Just across the street is Hong Kong outside the border. We experienced the old streets of Hong Kong and bought food, skin care products, etc.
It's just a gimmick...so-called Sino-British rule, but in fact many people go there to buy small things to sell (such as food) because there seems to be no tax. There is a small museum, not much to see, talking about modern history and the Opium War.
It is said that it is usually visited by tourists, and locals will not go here. However, it should be a must-see attraction, and it is still very affordable to buy things. The left side of the street facing the Sino-British Street boundary monument is under the jurisdiction of China. There are more formal shopping malls, and I recommend Zhuoyue and Sasa. Opposite is a small private shop. Many tourists come here to buy baby products and milk powder. The milk powder seems to be limited.
You need a pass to enter the Chung Ying Street, so bring your ID card. Shenzhen local residents can go once a week, and other residents can go once every 90 days. Another thing to remind you is that you can enter any store under the jurisdiction of Hong Kong, but you cannot enter the small paths between the stores, otherwise you will be considered illegal entry.
You need to get a permit when you enter, it seems to be 10 yuan, and it will be returned when you leave. You go to Zhongying Street to buy things. The goods inside are priced in Hong Kong dollars. When you collect money, you can accept RMB or Hong Kong dollars. The price is similar to that in Hong Kong, which is quite cheap. There is also a museum inside, which is open to the public for free. It seems to talk about the history of Zhongying Street. There are many aunties on the street who ask people to bring them milk powder and foreign wine. The labor fee is 30-40 per person. It seems that after 5 pm, you can only leave but not enter, so there will be a long queue, and the scene is quite chaotic.
It is more appropriate to go to Chung Ying Street to buy daily necessities. The goods are good and cheap, and you don't have to go to Hong Kong.
The street is very small and the shops are also very small. There are many tourists. Although the things are cheap, it is difficult to tell the authenticity.
Many people come here to buy things imported from Hong Kong. I am too lazy to buy them myself. It is imported, and I have eaten them before.
The most important thing about Chung Ying Street is to go shopping in the duty-free shop, and the other thing is to look at Hong Kong from a distance - even though you can't see anything.
Got cheated 😩😭(╥﹏╥) I was unhappy, went to visit Zhuoyue Kungfu, my family bought a cheap product in the small shop next to it and got ripped off. I bought a wallet for 500 yuan, and it broke after 10 minutes. Later I went back to ask for a refund, and they refunded 450 yuan, but they wouldn't refund the other 50 yuan. It's really sad, it's only about 30 yuan. A 40 yuan cheap product was sold for 500 yuan in Zhongying Street. Later I went home and checked online, some people spent 4,000 yuan to buy a watch worth 400 yuan. There are too many people who have been cheated. The merchants here know that tourists can only enter once every three months, so they rip them off. I suggest that those who have applied for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass go directly to Hong Kong for shopping. Those who are interested in history can just come and have a look. There are too many scammers in Zhongying Street, it's hard to guard against them, be careful, attached is the picture of the store to be careful not to be cheated
A very distinctive "one country, two systems" neighborhood. Now you can get a pass by showing your ID card and paying 10 yuan. When I went there in 2012, it cost 50 yuan for outsiders.
There are a lot of food and cosmetics in it, it depends on your own choice, this may exclude fake goods. And there are many aunts who ask you to help carry things because each person is limited to purchase.
I highly recommend Boji, where you can buy food and daily necessities. I bought a lot of Ferrero, cookies, bear biscuits... My friend who went with me also bought shampoo and other things. A pack of 16 Ferrero Rochers costs only 30 Hong Kong dollars, you can calculate it yourself.
If you're not here, old man, you'd better not queue up to death.
Zhongying Street, as the name suggests, is a place that was once a British colony. Now the boundary monument in the middle indicates the boundary between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The characteristic attractions are 1: Boundary monument. There are eight boundary monuments in Zhongying Street.
2. The “warning bell” is set up in the square of the History Museum on Zhongying Street
3: Ancient Well
There is an ancient well on the street after entering Zhongying Street.
4: Ancient banyan tree. The ancient banyan tree is located next to the No. 4 boundary marker of Zhongying Street and has a history of more than 100 years.
To enter the Chung Ying Street, both mainland tourists and Shenzhen residents (except Sha Tau Kok residents) must apply for a "special pass" issued by the public security department. You must obey the instructions of border and customs personnel and queue up to verify entry and exit, so you must bring your ID card when you go. If you bring children, you must also bring a birth certificate or household registration book. The ticket is 10 yuan per person, and if you buy it online, it is 30 yuan including the pass agency fee. It is said that you don’t need to queue up, but I don’t know if it is true. Anyway, when we went there, there were too many people and we cancelled the trip.
When you come to Shenzhen, you must visit Zhongying Street, which is not to be missed.
The boundary marker "The 24th Year of Emperor Guangxu's Sino-British Boundary No. ×" erected in 1898 divides Sha Tau Kok into two parts, with the east side being the Chinese boundary Sha Tau Kok and the west side being the British (Hong Kong) boundary Sha Tau Kok, hence the name "Sino-British Street". After Hong Kong's return, the east side belongs to Shenzhen and the west side belongs to Hong Kong, which is a microcosm of "one street, two systems".
To enter Zhongying Street, you need to apply for a "special permit" issued by the public security department. It is best not to apply for it on weekends because there are many people. After entering, the goods inside are all duty-free, so you can see that many people go shopping with boxes. But now it feels that the goods on Zhongying Street are mixed, real and fake. Be careful when buying.
If you just want to take a look and feel the footprints of history, it is still highly recommended to come and take a look~~~
Shenzhen Zhongying Street used to be the most prosperous place in Shenzhen, but it has become increasingly deserted. However, there are still many tourists who cross the border to travel to Hong Kong from here.
A good place to do duty-free shopping with a pass, but the population is extremely noisy and shopping is restricted. There are historical attractions such as [Zhongying Street History Museum/Wu Clan Ancestral Hall Tin Hau Temple/Dijie Ancient Well].
The tourists are a sight to behold. They shop all the time. They just go sightseeing. But I only bought a pendant with my own Chinese zodiac sign.
The Chung Ying Street in Sha Tau Kok can be called a special zone within a special zone. Its history can be traced back to 1898. The specific reasons are not mentioned here. You can search on Baidu.
After a few hours of experience at Zhongying Street, I feel that this place has become a special distribution center for buying Hong Kong goods or collar goods. You need to apply for a pass to enter Zhongying Street. Your ID card and pass must be checked in and out. Residents in the Zhongying Street Special Zone do not need to enter and exit, there is a special passage
There is a Hong Kong Joyo store in the Chung Ying Street, which is also quite large. There are also some other small stores that have a full range of Hong Kong daily necessities, medicines, food, and some Korean cosmetics. The prices here are marked in Hong Kong dollars, but you can pay directly in RMB.
In addition, many people allow tourists to smuggle items out for a certain amount of money. It is best not to break the law. People traveling with you witnessed the law enforcement process.
A special area under border management, with Shenzhen on one side and Hong Kong on the other, Hong Kong goods are exempt from tariffs. If you travel to Shenzhen without a Hong Kong and Macau Pass, it is a good place to experience shopping and customs clearance. The goods inside are very cheap, and the price is in Hong Kong dollars, but you can directly exchange them into RMB according to the exchange rate of the day to pay.
Chung Ying Street
Wherever there are people, there is a market; wherever there is a market, there are vendors.
After getting up the next day, I took a taxi to Zhongying Street to take a look.
As soon as I got out of the taxi, I was surrounded by traffickers who asked me to help them apply for some kind of pass.
I asked what kind of pass it was. I am a Chinese citizen. Do I need a pass to visit the street markets in Shenzhen, China?
You can complain all you want, but no one is forcing you to come. However, if you are afraid of being cheated by traffickers, just queue up and apply.
I waited in line for about 5 minutes? I forgot, but I felt like an idiot standing in the line and I was so out of place. Let's go! After taking two photos of Sha Tau Kok, I left.
I didn't have time to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass, so I went to Chung Ying Street to have fun! I also saw a female student from Hong Kong, her clothes and hairstyle were very formal! The things in Chung Ying Street were so cheap, I bought a lot of things, spent 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I still haven't bought enough, I will go there again in the future!
Red education base, remember history and never forget national humiliation
Go to Shenzhen! This is the place you should experience the most! It is a witness to the historical changes of our country! The recommendation index is five stars!
Fourth stop: Chung Ying Street
Zhongying Street is famous and is a record of history, so we went there because of its reputation. In fact, there are not many attractions to see in Zhongying Street except a historical museum and several boundary monuments. Most tourists come here for duty-free goods, so many tourists come here with empty boxes when entering customs and full boxes when leaving customs. Compared with the buildings on both sides of Zhongying Street in history, now the Shenzhen side is covered with brand new buildings and shops, while the Hong Kong side is still low-rise residential buildings and one-story old shops. It is really different now!
I didn't have a Hong Kong and Macau Pass when I came here, so I couldn't go to Hong Kong to have fun. I had to come to Chung Ying Street to have a look. This 200-meter-long street is basically a shopping street.
Take bus J1 to Chung Ying Street, 3 stops, 1 yuan. If you are not in a hurry, you can walk. There are a lot of people inside. I also received text messages from Hong Kong Telecom on my phone. There are people everywhere asking for goods. I searched online and netizens said that there are a lot of fake goods.
However, there are indeed many Hong Kong and foreign products, and the prices are not bad, at least much cheaper than buying them in the mainland, but I am not sure about the quality. I walked around the Chung Ying Street for an hour and bought some snacks. The Internet said not to buy electronic products, watches and jewelry because there are a lot of fakes. There were so many people when I came out, and a group of people carrying goods were squeezing around, which was scary for people who went there for the first time. At that time, I thought about not going there again. Indeed, it is so convenient to go to Hong Kong, there is no need to deliberately go to the Chung Ying Street to buy things. As a historical attraction, it is enough to go there once.
You need a border pass to enter. There are many Hong Kong products inside, which are similar to those sold in Hong Kong. However, you must be especially careful and beware of fakes.
There is really no place to go shopping, but there are so many people. If you don't want to go to Hong Kong but want to buy some small things, it is still worth a visit. With the relaxation of the Hong Kong and Macau Pass and the improvement of the mainland's economic conditions, more and more people choose to go directly to Hong Kong to play, and the Chung Ying Street is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Now, people who generally go to Chung Ying Street are Shenzhen people who want to buy some Hong Kong products but don't want to cross the border, or people who have never been to Chung Ying Street. To be honest, the process of entering is quite troublesome, and you also need to get a pass. When there are many people, queuing is also very painful. You will wait for a long time. It is best to choose to go there during non-weekends or prime time. The regulated Chung Ying Street, part of which is from the mainland and part of which is from Hong Kong, does not look modern. The Hong Kong side does not look prosperous. It feels that the current Chung Ying Street has become a gathering place for counterfeit goods. There are many goods, but it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. The lively crowd tells us that this place has not been abandoned, and shoppers are still coming in an endless stream. The residential houses inside are quite interesting, and the social interaction of the people living here should be quite strange. PS: It’s best not to take photos casually inside. I took a photo of a building in Hong Kong, and someone came over after a while and asked me to delete it. He was in plain clothes and I didn’t know who he was.
There are also some local residents living there. Many people take out large and small bags, mainly milk powder, cosmetics, food, and medicine. Some smugglers will take the initiative to chat with you and ask you to help take out when they see that you don't bring anything. Our fee is 50 yuan per two people (my friend's last time was 10 yuan per person), and generally 30 yuan per person. You can earn back the ticket money. If you want to bring goods, go to the back of this jewelry and watch city, on your left hand side after entering the picture below. If you see many people busy with various things, stand for a while, maybe someone will chat with you and pick up the goods.
A modern metropolis, praise, praise, praise, praise... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
We came to the Sino-British Street and saw several boundary markers erected during the Guangxu period. There are also banyan trees over a hundred years old and a wide variety of shops. Another attraction for tourists is the 230-meter-long Sino-British Street Sculpture Cultural Wall. The cultural wall displays major historical events and local customs in China since the Opium War in 1840 until the return of Hong Kong.
No tickets are required, but a pass is required. You must bring your ID card to apply for it yourself. You cannot apply for it on behalf of others. It only costs ten yuan. There is a museum inside, by the sea, and across from Hong Kong. The main thing is shopping. You can use Hong Kong dollars or RMB for shopping. The price is in Hong Kong dollars. Many people pull small wheelbarrows in and return with full loads. It is recommended to buy food, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of cosmetics~
This is the famous Zhongying Street in Shenzhen. Half of this street is governed by Hong Kong, and the other half is governed by the mainland. But now it seems that the mainland has taken over the whole street, and you can't see the Sir. This place is very meaningful and interesting, and it is worth a visit.
Located in Yantian District, Shenzhen, it is the most worthwhile place to visit in Shenzhen. You must visit Zhongying Street when you arrive in Shenzhen. Great
It turns out that many of them come to Chung Ying Street specifically to buy Hong Kong products. She sells imported candies and drinks online. The exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and RMB is 0.82, so she can make a profit. She sells them at a higher price. It's not easy to make money. Long-term passes do not allow people to take things from the street out of customs, so many of them reach a consensus and ask people like me who have a one-day permit to help take them out. The auntie's reward is 30 yuan.
There is a small street in Shatoujiao, one side of the street belongs to Shenzhen, and the other side belongs to Hong Kong, so there are two systems on one street. Chung Ying Street is also known as the "special zone within the special zone". To enter Chung Ying Street, both Shenzhen residents (except Shatoujiao residents) and tourists must apply for a "special permit" issued by the public security department. Although there is a sign on the Shenzhen side of the street that says "No crossing", tourists can still go to the shops on the Hong Kong side to shop.
The Zhongying Street History Museum was originally the Zhongying Street Historical Revolution Memorial Hall.
Located at No. 9 Neihuancheng Road, Shatoujiao Town, Yantian District, Shenzhen. Admission is free
Through a large number of historical pictures, real objects and models, the
The development of history has taught us to remember the lesson that if we fall behind, we will be beaten.
Work hard and strive for development! It is one of the must-visit attractions in Shenzhen!
