 ------------------------------- Sha Tau Kok or Shataukok or Sathewkok is a town in the northeastern corner of Hong Kong. Located on the border with mainland China, there is another town of same Chinese name, Shatoujiao, romanized using pinyin, across Shum Chun River-defined border in Shenzhen. Sha Tau Kok is one of the three road connections between Hong Kong and mainland China. The other two being Man Kam To and Lok Ma Chau. Chung Ying Street is special for being on the border, each side of the street belonged to two different countries in the past. But it can be perceived as a popular place for goods trafficking without getting through custom checks. There are a lot of goods leaving Hong Kong via Sha Tau Kok which goes into Chung Ying Street and eventually end up inside China. Likewise, foodstuffs come through from China into Hong Kong all day through, only limited by the closure of the Chinese custom post. An influx of mainland workers flow into Chung Ying Street from 7am when the custom post is opened. Residents from the Chung Ying Street area are free to pass in and out of the Chinese border post, because they have residency passes. Other non-residents must be issued with permits to enter from the Chinese authorities. Tourists are also found visiting Chung Ying Street to buy Western products from Hong Kong first hand, and prices may be higher than within China, but equivalent products found within China are suspected by mainland residents as not being wholly genuine. It is now possible to travel conveniently into mainland Shatoujiao via the Shataukok border crossing. Coaches run a regular schedule from Luen Wo Market (a small town near Fanling, in the New Territories) bus station, situated near the recently opened Luen Wo Market and Library complex, and from Fanling train station also. Tickets currently (2005) cost HK$20 for each passenger. The coaches also provide space for luggage. Travellers are taken through the Shek Chung O border check point without permit search, as they are directly driven through to the Shataukok Immigration checkpoint. Here, passengers alight, go through customs, and have their documents processed, before reboarding the coach to be driven to the Shatoujiao KouYan (the mainland border immigration checkpoint). They alight and take all their belongings through the mainland Chinese customs and have their documents processed. Travellers from outside China are advised to obtain entry visas from the appropriate authorities or via a travel agent before attempting the entry. Hong Kong residents should hold Home Visit Permits (HuiXiang Zheng) for entry into China. It has been announced (27th January 2005) that street maps for tourists have now been put up around Shatoujiao, which will help travellers get around. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
