I was fortunate enough to be taken up to the roof of the Ta Kwu Ling police station, right next to the border. The last three pictures show undoubtedly the greatest change in this border area since then: On the mainland China side (Shenzhen), these pictures trace a change from agricultural border area and a military outpost to a frantically bustling hyper-modern city. To be clear, the fish ponds and small fields are on the Hong Kong side. And it is a great deal more developed today than the last image shows. Mostly scanned from old 3R prints and kept out of historical interest
