Sha Tau Kok Control Point


Sha Tau Kok Control Point is a land immigration control point of Hong Kong, located in Sha Tau Kok, North District, New Territories, Hong Kong, along the border between mainland China and Hong Kong.

Opening

Sha Tau Kok was the second cross-border road link between Hong Kong and mainland China, after Man Kam To Control Point. It was officially opened on 28 February 1985 by Zhen Xipui, deputy mayor of Shumchun, and John Boyd, a Hong Kong government official.
The crossing is open from 7am to 10pm. Its counterpart across the border is the Shatoujiao Port.

Traffic

The control point is mainly used by vehicles. It acts as a border gateway from or to places in eastern Guangdong Province, such as Huizhou and Chaoshan. But it is one of the least frequently used immigration control point in Hong Kong.
Including both drivers and passengers, the Sha Tau Kok Control Point processed 3,866,065 people in 2015, making it the least-used of the four road border crossings in Hong Kong.

Public transport

'Sha Tau Kok Express' buses run to and from Sheung Shui bus station.
