Zhongying Street

Eight boundary stones demarcate the 4-meter-wide street in Shatoujiao Subdistrict in the middle, telling the history of “one street, two systems.” Before Hong Kong was returned to the motherland in 1997, the east of the street was Chinese territory while the west side was under the jurisdiction of Britain, giving the street its name, which literally means “Sino-British Street.”

The street today remains a tourist destination lined with duty-free shops and small stores selling local specialties. People can visit the Zhongying Street History Museum, capture some snapshots of an ancient water well and a big bell, or simply take a walk along the beautiful coast and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.

Add: Zhongying Street, Shatoujiao Subdistrict, Yantian District (盐田区沙头角街道中英街)

Metro: Line 8 to Shatoujiao Station (沙头角站) and walk 1.6 km to the street
