I am always fascinated by border regions. The border to mainland China is not far, so I decided to head out of Hong Kong City to make a journey to the north. Also a great opportunity to see rural Hong Kong, which I haven’t seen before. Totally different compared to the busy Hong Kong City center. Join me on the journey to the outskirts of Hong Kong to a little border village at the border to mainland China, which I was not allowed to enter…
Are tourists not welcome here? Well, there is an answer to this as we will find out.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

🇭🇰 My previous Hong Kong video, where we explored the busy city center ➡https://youtu.be/rOcOcnhIxi0
Ken, the busses accept credit cards (pay wave). Two machines: one for the Octopus and the white one is for credit cards. Cash is king, but no change.
個位女巴士司機 真不應該🤬🤬🤬 明明睇住位外藉人士手持廿蚊雞問幾錢 投放廿蚊個一刻前都唔阻止唔提醒佢 冇得抓錢 。。。
One of the tombs is of the clan surnamed “So”, most are descendants of the indigenous people of that village.
The temple at 23:40 is Tin Hau, the goddess of the seas. Former fishermen and today’s locals worship her for peace and luck. There are quite a few Tin Hau Miu in town. This is a smaller one. Good on you, Ken!
Spot on with Gu Lo Yuk! Sweet sour pork! You picked the right place for a decent Cantonese meal. Enjoy!
You see lots of people go with trunk in the border and guess they travel to mainland China, it’s not true, they are all from mainland China and go back to China after travelling to Hong Kong.
I thought the border no longer exist after the National Security Law !
Back in the days, there were many mainland Chinese smuggled into Hong Kong through Sha Tau Kok Town because of civil wars and other political incidents happening in mainland China, so the Hong Kong government made that town as an restricted area to avoid smugglers since then, all people including ordinary Hong Kong citizens need a special permit to get into that area, normally people who don't live or go to school in that town can hardly get the special permit.
You are very brave to venture a foreign place without a local guide. Fortunately, Hong Kong is generally very safe in most places. After watching several of your videos, you have not been ripped off, but you did waste a few bucks here and there because you did not know what you were doing.
Please Please Please
Don't go to the border to take pictures! Foreigners who take pictures at the borders of the Communist world, government buildings and military camps will be arrested and jailed for espionage.
PS, Hong Kong is not what it used to be, be careful.
I am truly amazed to see you riding the very same mini-bus as I do everyday. Initially I thought it was decent enough for a foreigner just to visit Happy Valley Racecourse but you nailed it in terms of exploring deeply. Lovely done video, you easily earned my sub.
Hiya am from uk a new fan of yours I love hk
I like you video but I don't like your Title of this video, is a misleading statement.
Lived in HK for 26 years and it was great. Had no problems going in and out of China… And you can only go to Sha Tau Kok with a residence pass. It was like that even under British rule.
tip, do not film tombstone’s 😶
Oh, Asians seem to be more progressive than Europeans, using e payments rather than cash…
Sweet and sour pork
Why did you say you don’t want to go to China since you were in China?
Just apply a visa and then go to the China simple and easy
Temple Street night market in Kowloon is a fun place with good sea food and try eating Dimsum in Hong Kong. Cheers!
👌👍
aww… buy an octopus card for traveling hk (travellers) its easy n cheaper. refund the deposit when u leave hk from mtr station. 20:30 is a graveyard.
Where is this moment when you felt unwelcome and how many people did not welcome you and what is the reason?
mind your language
yes.
Hi Ken, yr air ticket is by HK government gave you😅, is free😂
Ken, if you are holding a Germany passport, I think you can get a 5-day Shenzhen Visa on Arrival at the Lo Wu (Luohu) Port. There’s some articles about it and you are supposed to get it on the Chinese side of the border,so you have to exit Hong Kong first, cross the bridge and get it right before you get to mainland Chinese immigration. Hope this helps
