Sha Toujiao Border Crossing is located in the west of Sha Toujiao, Yantian District, Shenzhen City, is a supplementary passenger and cargo integrated port serving Yantian District, Longgang District, Shenzhen City and the eastern part of the Pearl River Delta, which was approved by the State Council to be opened to the outside world in September 1984, and was completed and put into use in March 1985, and opened on January 28, 2005 with the opening of a new border bridge across the border. The existing Sha Tau Kok Boundary Control Point adopts the mode of co-location of immigration and customs clearance, with a design passenger flow of 0.15 million passenger trips per day and a design vehicular capacity of 0.15 million vehicle trips per day.

Sha Tau Kok Boundary Control Point has been in use for about 40 years. After close communication between the port authorities of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the redevelopment of Sha Tau Kok Boundary Control Point will be based on a design parameter of 40,000 passenger trips/day and 2,500 vehicle trips/day, with a 26-fold increase in the designed clearance capacity. In the future, Sha Tau Kok Boundary Control Point will be abolished for cargo transportation and rebuilt as a pure passenger clearance port to further optimize the functional layout of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Boundary Control Point and support the construction of the Sha Tau Kok Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Consumption Cooperation Zone. At present, the demolition works of the Sha Tau Kok Boundary Control Point have already commenced.
