context_page_description: The Frontier Closed Area, established by the Frontier Closed Area Order, 1951, is a border zone area in Hong Kong, extended inwards from the border with Mainland China. For anyone to enter the area, a Closed Area Permit is required.
  Established to prevent migrants from Mainland China and other illegal activities, the closed area is fenced along its perimeter to serve as a buffer between the closed border and the rest of the territory. Developments are tightly controlled within the area, leading to less construction and causing most of the area to become a natural habitat for animals and plants.
context_section_description: Border Road (Chinese: 邊界道路) is a road along the south bank of Sham Chun River, and the northernmost road in Hong Kong. Since January 2016, it is amongst the only remaining places within the Frontier Closed Area (along with an area around and within parts of Sha Tau Kok). Currently it is used for patrolling purposes only and public entry is forbidden. It starts from Mai Po Nature Reserve in Yuen Long and ends along Lin Ma Hang Road.
