There is a mainland entrance where you can visit the duty-free shops in the Hong Kong town without levy, located in Shatoujiao, Shenzhen. The road traffic is very convenient, and the government also boosts the transportation with subway exit sign guidance. There is also a special direct bus at the station entrance, so foreign tourists don't have to worry about getting lost. Additionally, the document processing is so fast. Search for 'Shatoujiao Border Special Management Area Pass Processing' on the WeChat official account, and you will get an immediate response after applying. Volunteers will also help guide the processing of the physical pass upon arrival, but the main form of identification for entry and exit is still the ID card. If you don't have much demand for items, the goods are actually not much different, but of course, the things in the duty-free shops are indeed somewhat different from the inland goods, and they are even cheaper. For sightseeing, the main attractions are Zhongying Street and the Zhongying Street Museum. The scenery is really nice, with the sky high and the clouds light. Because of the architectural style and atmosphere, there is a feeling of being in a British town. But then I heard a little girl ask her father why there has to be a boundary between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and I really felt a kind of sour and astringent feeling in my heart. The Zhongying Street Museum mainly revolves around the origin and development of Zhongying Street. From the small issue of the ownership of Zhongying Street, one can see how China has step by step moved towards prosperity over the past thousands of years.

Today's journey begins at Chung Ying Street, a small street only 250 meters long, which used to be the boundary between British Hong Kong and mainland China. It still retains the distinct architectural styles of both sides. As I walked along the cobblestone road, the old shops on both sides sold goods from Hong Kong and the mainland, making it feel as if time had stood still, allowing one to feel the weight of history. In the afternoon, I headed to the seaside of Sha Tau Kok in the northeast of Shenzhen. This former border restricted area has now opened some parts to the public. Standing on the shore, I watched the busy cargo ships coming in and out of Hong Kong's Yantian Port, with the mountains on the other side quietly reflecting on the sea, creating a harmonious picture. I quietly felt the connection between the city and history, experiencing the transformation of Shenzhen from a border town to a modern metropolis.
