Sha Tin Centre, Hong Kong: An affordable commercial district on the Kowloon Peninsula, a great choice for visitors!
Sha Tin is located on the northeastern side of the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong, and is the necessary route from Hong Kong Island and Tsim Sha Tsui to Sai Kung. Since Sha Tin is relatively far from the main urban areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, its prosperity is slightly less. However, the affordable accommodation and dining have become a good choice for tourists visiting Hong Kong, especially those on the Kowloon Peninsula. If you are traveling to Sai Kung or the MacLehose Trail, choosing Sha Tin is the best option, as it not only offers more convenient transportation but also lower food and lodging expenses.
1. Attractions: Sha Tin Centre is not much different from other important areas in Hong Kong, with scenes reminiscent of Hong Kong movies everywhere, and the surrounding environment is also very good. There are many parks, large and small, where you can relax and exercise at the same time, experiencing the atmosphere of a relaxed life in a bustling metropolis.
2. Transportation: Sha Tin has excellent transportation, with three MTR East Rail Line stations named 'Sha Tin', 'Fo Tan', and 'University', and four MTR Tuen Ma Line stations named 'Che Kung Temple', 'Sha Tin Wai', 'City One', and 'Shek Mun'. Most Kowloon buses pass through Sha Tin, such as the frequently used KMB routes 81K, 88K, 83K, and 280X.
3. Nearby attractions: Sha Tin is well-located with many important attractions in the area, such as Che Kung Temple, Lion Rock Country Park, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Sha Tin Town Hall, Coca-Cola Museum, Wu Kai Sha Beach, and Sha Tin Centre Plaza, among others.
4. Accommodation: Compared to other areas in Hong Kong, accommodation in Sha Tin is truly affordable, with larger room sizes, better spatial layout, and more budget-friendly room rates. Shan Ye Jun stayed at a five-star hotel in Sha Tin for 800 Hong Kong dollars per night, with a room size of 35 square meters. If you choose a three-star or comfortable standard hotel, the room rate can be controlled within 300 Hong Kong dollars.
5. Dining: Like accommodation, the catering industry in Sha Tin is also affordable. The consumption level of many mid-to-high-end restaurants is similar to that of the mainland, with a lot of them averaging 150 yuan per person. Ordinary tea restaurants have an average consumption as low as 40 Hong Kong dollars per person, which is rare in all regions of Hong Kong, making dining in Sha Tin very cost-effective.

Shatian the mountain of Guanyin and the mountain of Lionzi. Although it is very close to the public housing villages of Ciyun Mountain, there is no public transportation equipment, and it is rare on weekdays. The tourists are not the morning transporters, but the mountain people, and the people of Putong are only to visit the Guanyin Temple on the mountain. The Sha Tin Road , which passes through the Bamboo Garden to the Sha Tin area near the Sha Tin area , is finally connected to the mountainside of the Da Lao Mountain and the Zashan Road and the Fei Goose Mountain Road . There are many spots along Sha Tin Road, including the Lion Zi Pavilion and the Guanyin Temple. Standing on Sha Tin Road, you can see the whole Kyulong Peninsula.
nice suburb in Hong Kong with the iconic Shing Mun river, don’t miss out the lights at night! perfect for photos!
Compared to Mong Kok, I prefer Sha Tin. Because Sha Tin's shopping center is mainly indoor, with air-conditioning environment, the price is more expensive to eat.
Shatian Shimen has recently become a hot spot for left hydrangea punching. The hydrangea concentration is the entrance of the riverside garden. You can see it when you cross the road at Shimen Station. Although the scope is not large, a piece of pink pink purple hydrangea is indeed very romantic. Couples check in 🥰
