Opening

Sha Tau Kok was the second cross-border road link between Hong Kong and mainland China, after Man Kam To Control Point.[1] It was officially opened on 28 February 1985 by Zhen Xipui, deputy mayor of Shenzhen, and John Boyd, a Hong Kong government official.[2]

The crossing is open from 7am to 10pm.[3] Its counterpart across the border is the Shatoujiao Port.

Traffic

The control point is mainly used by vehicles (cars and lorries). 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.[4]

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.[5]
