Hong Kong Notes (3) Sha Tin City Walk

Transportation Guide: MTR Sha Tin Station Must-visit Attractions: Must-try Foods: 💞Reasons for Recommendation: Sha Tin is located in the New Territories. When talking about this place, horse racing is a must-mention. During race events, there is a direct MTR line to the racecourse station. It’s easy to imagine how passionate Hong Kong people are about horse racing. Besides horse racing, there’s also the Mark Six lottery to play. This time, the jackpot has reached HKD 38 million. My darn beginner’s luck! It would be best to buy a house or a car, or at least buy a plane ticket to break even. The ending is just to wash up and sleep! Everything is possible in dreams... Here, I must thank my local friend the most, who rolled their eyes at me as I was dragged by the horse racing club staff to fill out forms in exchange for gifts! New Town Plaza and Yata Department Store New Town Plaza is divided into three phases with thousands of shops. You can find all the brands you want! Everything is available, nothing is surprising! There’s also a very cute and tiny Snoopy Park! The adorable school bus even has air conditioning inside, which is surprisingly strange. Oh right... I ate the most expensive burger of my life here, SHAKE SHACK HKD 161. When I tapped my Octopus card, my heart ached a little... Actually, I was full after the burger, but thinking about the price, I had to finish all the food! Yata Department Store next to New Town Plaza Has a Japanese-style department store vibe. Since Sha Tin is very close to Shenzhen, entering Hong Kong from Lo Wu or Huanggang Port is just a matter of minutes. So the proportion of mainland Chinese shoppers in the mall is quite high~ Watching them fiercely buy big brands, shoes, and clothes~ It’s truly jaw-dropping. Outside the mall, there are many large-scale art installations, Sha Tin Town Hall and the Cultural Museum add a touch of artistic atmosphere~ Ride a bike along the Shing Mun River for an adventure. It’s hard to imagine a bike path by a green lakeside in the concrete jungle. I’ll try it next time. Among the skyscrapers competing for height in Hong Kong, there is an urban oasis vibe. Sha Tin is quite comfortable! Town Hall
