In recent years, Zhongying Street has continuously strengthened the construction of public cultural facilities in the area and continued to improve people's livelihood and welfare. "We try our best to extend and benefit public services to the residents of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. For example, the social health center launched in 2019 provides residents with free physical examinations. Now this free physical examination has been extended to residents of Sha Tau Kok on the Hong Kong side, so that everyone can enjoy our benefits." Li Jinquan, director of the Chung Ying Street Management Bureau, told reporters.

Chen Qing, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yantian District, Shenzhen City, also said that a good interconnection mechanism has been established between the two places. "We usually communicate more and communicate more, and now we have basically done it. We now have the entire Yantian District with New Territories North and Sha Tau Kok Folks nearby are easy to talk to and discuss about, and they keep in close contact with each other."

Chen Qing revealed that in terms of hardware construction of Zhongying Street, Shatoujiao Customs and the second channel of Zhongying Street are already setting up shop and starting to expand and renovate. "This is to facilitate the entry and exit of residents of the two places, alleviate the traffic congestion at the Zhongying Street Pass during the peak hours of tourists and students during the pick-up and drop-off periods at noon and afternoon, and provide independent access for teachers and students of schools in the town and residents of the town, as well as merchants and merchants from all over the world."

In addition to the second passage of Zhongying Street, Yantian is exploring policies and measures such as increasing the duty-free shopping limit and relaxing the entry and exit and stay time limits to promote Zhongying Street to achieve greater glory.
