Shatoujiao is a bustling metropolis in comparison to Sha Tau Kok in Hong Kong (which is within the Closed Area), due to the development of special economic zone. The cosmopolitan population is mainly composed of migrant workers from all parts of China along with a handful of Russians. Shatoujiao is a port with cargo coming into and exiting Yantian. It has a road connecting to Shenzhen, with the regular bus services to Shenzhen's main train terminus, thus a connection to Guangzhou also. Moreover, it is situated near a newly constructed motorway or highway which links to Meixian and Chaozhou and the Shenzhen railway is also part of the transport links between Hong Kong and Beijing.
The town's attractions include Minsk World and an aircraft carrier moored in the bay.
