Zhongying Street is indeed quite nice!

Zhongying Street, with its vintage charm, borders Shenzhen on one side and Hong Kong on the other. It began to take shape after the boundary was demarcated in 1899. Until the handover of Hong Kong, it was 'divided and ruled' by China and Britain using boundary stones as markers, with as many as seven boundary stones erected on the short stretch of Zhongying Street at one point. On July 1, 1997, after the Chinese government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, Zhongying Street formed a new pattern of 'one street, two systems' under the framework of 'one country, two systems,' fundamentally changing its nature. In 2012, with the approval of the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Zhongying Street became a 'Famous Historical and Cultural Street of China'. Tips: 1. Apply for a temporary border pass in advance through the 'Shatoujiao Border Special Management Zone Pass Handling' mini-program. You can apply on the same day on weekdays, but you need to apply in advance on weekends due to the crowd. Remember to bring your original ID card to queue up for the temporary pass after approval. 2. The sequence of entering Zhongying Street from pictures 2-7 can be seen along the way. Remember, only those with Hong Kong and Macau passes can cross the border, temporary passes are not allowed. 3. Pictures 8-13 show the exhibits next to the Police Warning Bell in the museum, where two sub-bells of the Police Warning Bell are displayed separately. 4. Pictures 14-15 are of the Shatoujiao Sea's waterfront boardwalk, from where you can see Hong Kong's Shun Lung Street (as shown on Baidu Maps). 5. Picture 16 shows that if you walk along the waterfront boardwalk, you can see the ancient tower park. 6. Pictures 17-18 are some snacks bought on Zhongying Street. The prices here are in Hong Kong dollars, and you can pay directly by scanning a QR code, which will be slightly cheaper, but not as cheap as some online postings suggest (it might also depend on what you buy). 7. If you have shopped, you need to queue up for security checks when leaving. If you haven't shopped, you can leave easily.
