When you cross back into HKG from SZ, you walk over a river that is the official border. That’s Shenzhen in the distance with the tall buildings and the like.
It’s a tepid stinky icky river that if you were to try to swim it, you would lose body parts on the way.
Really gross. Makes Victoria Harbour seem like a clean swimming pool by comparision.
But with everything out here, this too reeks (bad pun!) of politics. When you cross over to SZ, you don’t see the river because the hallway that leads over is covered up.
Coming back, it’s an open bridge so you get the full smell and sights of that icky river.
Phew!
