What are the coolest photos of international borders?
关于国家之间的边界最酷的照片是什么样的？

Hong Kong and Mainland China used to share a border on the same street. One side of the road was British and the other was Chinese. The border was marked with stone obelisks running down the centre. Here is a photo of a British military policeman and a Chinese police officer eyeing each other up:
香港与大陆曾经的边界在一条街上。街道的一边是英国，另一边是中国。在街道中央用石头做的方尖碑来标记边界。这张照片里一个英国警察正与一位中国警察长官对视：
The Street name is Zhong Ying Jie (中英街) (Chung Ying Street in English/Cantonese). The characters that make up the name represent China and the UK respectively. Here are a couple of images from later years:
这条街道叫做中英街。这个名字分别代表了中国和英国。这里有一些照片关于后来的几年的情况：
My girlfriend recently visited Shenzhen and told me that the street is still the border between the two today, only it's much more open. Chinese mainlanders can buy a day pass there and then for 10rmb and can cross the invisible line to shop at the small stores on the HK side. There are still soldiers at the ends of the street to prevent people from walking around into Hong Kong proper.
我的女朋友最近参观了深圳，她告诉我这条街道目前仍然是这两个地方的边界，不同仅仅是今天更开放了。中国人出10块钱就可以单日往返从看不见的边界线穿过到了香港那边的商店购物。那里仍然有士兵在站岗，防止人们闯入香港。
Here is a small map of the area. Zhong Ying Jie is at the bottom running roughly north to south.
这里有一幅关于这个区域的小地图，中英街在地图的底部，大致由北向南。
