One of the tours into the New Territories took as near to China as we could get. The view across an inlet of Dapeng Bay gave us a look at Sha Tau Kok, China. The border between Chins and Hong Kong is tightly controlled, primarily to keep people in China from sneaking across to Hong Kong. Apparently they have the same problems the border states in the USA has with Mexico... a chance for a better life. We were told that even residents in Hong Kong with passports issued in Hong Kong must obtain visas to cross the border.
