The Boundary Street of Hong Kong & Shenzhen and the Hakka Community on Both Sides

[@dave8229]

I guess our History lessons in Schools fail us big time by not reminding people of this area that has existed since 1898. Fantastic Video!

[@manuelantonionoronha5253]

this is an incredibly interesting and well-made video.

[@akouafray8616]

Very informative. Thanks for the video. ❤

[@edwardwong654]

Thank you for making this interesting video. I had never heard of this area. My mom is Hakka from Shenzhen and I have lived in HK in Yuen Long for a year but I have never heard of this area. Fascinating.

[@kinho1251]

It's because it is closed off for all HK residents.

Super like your video and contribution ❤ You have a fantastic research team.

@@yanyangoaroundinchina I heard you were not even Hakka by birth 😁😁 Happy New Year of the Dragon 🙏🎉🎉🎉

[@kinho1251]

Being Hakka I understood everything that was being said in the recordings from the past.

[@mikelawrence399]

I think The recordings are all recorded for the museum playing only .

[@chookyrobert973]

Interesting about this area of Hakka living here in 2 century. Great story that never heard by lot of Hakka from oversea people and myself as Hakka from Msia and migrant from NZ and Australia..

[@hkcb250rider9]

I went to the HK side in February of this year. It’s no longer difficult to visit the HK side but only Mainland Chinese or Sha Tau Kok residents can visit the Shenzhen side.

[@VerasakSahachaisaree]

Great video, thanks.

[@MC-fk2mz]

Hi yan.i learn so much about hong kong and china.i did not know hong komg was taken away from china by force and i love your honest you are a neutral person you dont touch any political matter which is a very good thing

[@ochyming]

Lovely, Thank you!

[@joeeng8181]

Another very well done video. Are you hakka?

[@mikelawrence399]

I live there since I born and welcome to my house next to where you were standing !!

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

Wow! You must have access to the Hong Kong side of Shatoujiao. I'm jealous! I heard it will be open in January next year. Is it only for HK residents or I can also access it if I travel to Hong Kong?

[@mikelawrence399]

@@yanyangoaroundinchina they are discussing this for many years but don’t think the Chung Ying Street will be open . No points to open up the border . Creating more jobs is just a topics but the local people will not benefit much from this .

[@mikelawrence399]

You may go to the Sha Tau Kok Hong Kong side with someone who live there and they can help to get a permit from the border police station for you

[@sarkong6687]

Thank you very much Yanyan. It is very educational to me and I just wonder if there exists an online museum(s) that people who live outside of China can access and learn from? Many thanks and I am looking forward to receiving your reply soon. Sar Kong

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

The Chung Ying Street Museum of History is not online and Shatoujiao is not open to foreign citizens. I am thinking of the Hong Kong Museum of History because some materials came from that museum. It's a great museum to visit. I'm not sure if the exhibitions are online but at least there is a website.

[@ameliacaramonte6497]

interesting.

[@tanjahu22]

Hi l’m also hakka my dad is from shenzhen from a village Sa poi lak (??) does anyone have more info about this village or residence??

[@mikelawrence399]

謝謝你介绍沙頭角，非常好，我可分享給其他英文朋友❤

[@humphreywilson1125]

Great video! Can foreigners visit from the China side? As a foreign Hong Kong resident, we are not allowed to visit, but it would be fun to visit from Shenzhen! Is WeChat the only way to register? That would make things challenging

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

I just checked the registration page for you. It says currently only mainland residents could apply for the pass. Yes, Wechat is the only way to register, and it requires a mainland residential ID Number. Sorry! But next year since January, you'll be able to visit the Hong Kong side and you can peek through the window on the boundary wall😂. I am currently making another video on Sha Tau Kok and I'll share more footage in the next video.

[@humphreywilson1125]

@@yanyangoaroundinchina Thanks so much for checking! Oh that's a shame, I really want to go! That means my wife can't even go haha as she's no longer a mainland resident hahaha. But that's amazing that the HK side is going to open up, incredible. When you make your Shau Tau Kok video please include some information on how we can visit, if you can. I think it's still closed? Anyway, I'll look forward to going! By the way... if you want somewhere interesting to go, check out Chikanzhen near Kaiping. I used to organise cycling tours going there. It used to be a perfect little very historical town near Kaiping but then some investment group bought the whole town and kicked out all the residents with a plan to "develop" it :-( I went back to a ghost town in 2018. Not sure what it's like now, if it's been developed or not. It would fit very well into a video on Kaiping and the diaolou. Happy to share photos before and after if you want to use them. I've subscribed to your channel by the way, great content.

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

@@humphreywilson1125 Thanks for mentioning Kaiping. It's on my original list when I planned this channel. It's been three years, and I haven't made that video. I always found new topics and that video was just pushed back. I was going to film it this May but it was cancelled again after I got Covid. So, next year!

[@hkcb250rider9]

The HK side is open to visitors from Dec 2023. You just apply for a pass online it’s very easy. There’s not much to see on the HK side though and you can’t cross the checkpoint.

[@hkdronechef]

@@yanyangoaroundinchina Thanks so much YanYang, I have been looking for a long time for such a video about this special place I would love to visit being an HK permanent resident for 30 years. I hope China opens up further and allows foreign HK permanent residents to visit this special place in the future. Visiting the HK side doesn't sound too interesting at all.

0:30 Mainland China is not communist, but socialist, at least according to the official source.

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

You are right. I got confused of these two words. Thanks for your correction.

Hi

[@coreysze5378]

Today, only one system, one country ！

[@kchew1000]

No, it means the capitalistic system can still be retained. That's all. It does not mean it can choose to have a political system that is anti China in nature.

Yanyan you got it wrong. It ain't two political systems but two animals. One is Chinese, the other is called a running dog.

[@chanman5600]

Don't you know the 1 Country 2 Systems is now dead ? The currently so-called 1 Country 2 Systems is fake. Even the CCP said the Sino British Joint Declaration is a "historical document" and rewrote Hong Kong textbook to "correct" Hong Kong was never ever a British colony 😂.

[@llee4225]

Only the Hong Kong island was relinquisted to Britain. The northeern peninsula part of Hong Kong was on 99 year lease to Britain. After the lease expired, Britain gave up claims on the island.

[@Willxdiana]

1c2s is used to entice the Taiwanese. Otherwise 1c2s article 23 was put in 1c2s as deng predicted the hkers will use democracy to overthrow the ccp. The protestors did that. As far as i know 1c2s is working but dead in Taiwan

[@taiwanstillisntacountry]

The only fake country is little-3rd-brotha.

​@@llee4225You forgot to mention about the Kowloon Peninsula. It was also ceded to Britain after 1841!
