Restricted Area: Sha Tau Kok buffer zone

Sha Tau Kok - a place that a Hong Kong person may never visit in his or her lifetime for no reason. Sha Tau Kok (especially the market) is a restricted area on the border, located in the rural areas of the New Territories, with rich ecological value and strong cultural background, and is also a good place for travelers to explore. It was once a traditional southern Chinese society, and was politically the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, with close ties to mainland China. As a bridgehead of the border, it was also an area that the British had focused on developing since the opening of Hong Kong. As a symbol of Hong Kong's history, it cannot be ignored. Today, after being closed for 60 years, this area faces impact of accelerated urbanization. More so than ever, it is necessary to have a better understanding of its history and cultural heritage in order to navigate its future development.
