Thematic halls by the Shing Mun River. Jin Yong, Cantonese opera, design rotate. New Town Plaza is a lid; this is Sha Tin’s indoor stay.

Che Kung Temple
Sha Tin’s martial temple. Lunar New Year is another city. Weekdays: a short stop on the river line.
CUHK campus (public areas)
A campus on a Sha Tin slope. Lake and station are the public face; classrooms are not sights. Not a theme park.
Tsang Tai Uk
A walled house in Sha Tin. Che Kung is incense; this is people’s walls. Short visit, yield — not a theme park.
Sha Tin Park
The town green lid by the Shing Mun River. The mall is a lid; the river is home ground; the park is cooldown.
Ma On Shan Country Park gate
The mountain gate across from the promenade — not Ma On Shan summit. The shore is home ground; this is only for those who mean to climb. Trail file: Ma On Shan hike.
Ma On Shan Park
The new town’s green lid. The promenade watches Tolo; this is trees. The mountain gate is another segment. The mall is entry and exit.
