Development history

In 1898, due to the decadence and incompetence of the Qing government and the force of Britain, China and Britain signed the Sino British "special article on expanding the boundary of Hong Kong". According to this, Britain forced to rent 977.4 square kilometers of land and vast waters of Xin'an County for 99 years. On March 18, 1899, the representatives of China and Britain completed the demarcation of the "New Territories". It was against this historical background that Sino British street was formed.

The richly endowed by nature, full of vitality and vitality, the Sino British street is located in Sha Tau Kok, Sha Tau Kok, which is the territory of the former Xin'an County. It backs Wutong Mountain and Dapeng Bay in the south. It is a long history, beautiful and rich, full of vigour and vitality. It integrates ancient civilization and modern culture, and has the unique natural and cultural environment for developing tourism economy and culture. Zhongying street used to be a muddy river called cormorant path. Due to the development of economy, it has gradually evolved into a prosperous border trade street with the reputation of "shopping paradise". Although it is only 250 meters long and 3-4 meters wide, its historical changes are the epitome of modern Chinese history. The monument standing on Zhongying street is not only a historical witness of China's poverty and backwardness, the decay and decline of the Qing Dynasty and the crazy invasion of British imperialism, but also a historical witness of reform and opening up, Hong Kong's return to the motherland and China's prosperity and strength. The special historical background and cultural landscape of "one street, two systems" in Zhongying Street are not only unique in China, but also rare in the world.

Its scale includes more than 40 houses, more than 200 people chasing the market, and more than 1000 items of various props, which truly reflects the development process of the local people from the traditional agricultural economy to the commodity economy. The panoramic sand tables of Hong Kong, Kowloon, the new territories and Sha Tau Kok, which are made by modern electronic means, vividly represent the evil act of British colonialists in dividing up Chinese territory.
