Thanks for the info. Shenzhen border visas disappeared in 2008 and I wasn't aware they had returned (as an American, they weren't of any relevance to me since the late 90s so I didn't follow the situation too closely). Huanggang is my favorite border crossing, especially if coming from HKIA, but persons without visas in hand wouldn't be able to stay in the van when passing through the PRC checkpoint.
