Man Kam To Control Point (Chinese: 文錦渡管制站) is a land immigration control point in Man Kam To, North District, New Territories, Hong Kong, within the Closed Area on the border with mainland China. It is the first Hong Kong vehicular clearance point and it was taken over from the Hong Kong Immigration Department on June 25, 1981. Its counterpart across the border is the Wenjindu Port, located within the Luohu District of the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
To enhance cross-boundary transport infrastructures for long-term economic growth, the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government of mainland China and the Hong Kong Government are planning to build a new control point at Liantang (on the Chinese side) and Heung Yuen Wai (on the Hong Kong side) to replace the long-used Man Kam To Control Point.

We merely appear, like an ornate celebrity wheeled out in a wheelchair.” “I don’t remember,” my friend claimed. “No need to,” I said: “what need have us free-loaders for any special alertness? We’re done for.””
