Shatoujiao (simplified Chinese: 沙头角; traditional Chinese: 沙頭角) is a subdistrict of Yantian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, located on the border of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The population is mainly composed of migrant workers from all parts of China along with a small number of Russians. Shatoujiao is a port with cargo coming into and exiting Yantian. It has a road connecting to Luohu, with regular bus services to Shenzhen's main train terminus and through connections to Guangzhou. The subdistrict lies near a highway that links to Meixian and Chaozhou while the Shenzhen railway is also part of the transport links between Hong Kong and Beijing.
In Hong Kong, the name Shatoujiao is written as Sha Tau Kok, reflecting the Cantonese pronunciation. Although Shatoujiao and Sha Tau Kok are written using the same Chinese characters, today, 'Shatoujiao usually refers to the town on the mainland side of the border, while Sha Tau Kok refers to the town on the Hong Kong side.
