The border town
Sha Tau Kok is located at the north of the opening of the inlet to
Mirs Bay. For those who are not residents within the Closed Area, or are not crossing the border, a
Closed Area Permit is required. On 15 February 2012, areas around Sha Tau Kok (but not the town itself) were taken out of the Frontier Closed Area. The checkpoint at
Shek Chung Au on
Sha Tau Kok Road was decommissioned. ==See also==
