Sheung Shui

Tucked into the lowlands of Hong Kong’s northern New Territories, near the Shenzhen River, Sheung Shui is a place whose character is shaped by its role on the boundary with Shenzhen. The East Rail Line makes it a key interchange for travellers heading towards the Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau border crossings, while Shek Wu Hui forms the town’s busy commercial centre. Older rural settlements remain part of the surrounding landscape, recalling the New Territories’ village-based past amid rapid urban development. Nearby hills and watercourses soften an intensely connected urban edge, where daily life is closely influenced by links across the border.
