Stretching 250 metres long and 4 metres wide, Chung Ying Street is one of the most fascinating places to cross from Hong Kong into Shenzhen’s Shekou town. One side of the street belongs to Hong Kong, while the other is in Mainland China—standing in the middle feels like a unique step between two worlds. The Chung Ying Street Historical Museum offers a deep dive into the history behind this border crossing. For those looking to shop, the street is a popular tax-free zone. However, it's important to be cautious as counterfeit goods are known to circulate here. A special permit is required to access the street.

Museo Diocesano San Sebastiano was an abandoned church before it became a museum.

The San Sebastiano Cafe can also be found inside the museum, a good place to get something to eat while touring this place.
