Man Kam To or Mankamto (traditional Chinese: 文錦渡; Hong Kong Hakka: Vun₂ Gim₃ Tu₄) is an area in the North District, New Territories, Hong Kong near the border with Shenzhen in mainland China.

Administration

For electoral purposes, Man Kam To is part of the Sha Ta constituency of the North District Council. It is currently represented by Ko Wai-kei, who was elected in the local elections.

Border

The area includes the Man Kam To Control Point, one of the four road checkpoints between Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as the San Uk Ling Holding Centre (新屋嶺拘留中心), operated by the Immigration Department.

Closed Area

Access to Man Kam To was previously restricted as it is located in the Frontier Closed Area of the New Territories. For those who are not residents within the Closed Area, or are not crossing the border, a Closed Area Permit was required.

As from 4 January 2016, most of Man Kam To was removed from the Frontier Closed Area and now only the border facilities are in the area.
