Sha Tin District occupies the New Territories north of Hong Kong's central areas and comprises mostly residential neighbourhoods built on reclaimed land since the 1970s. The Ten Thousand Buddha's Monastery, Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and Tao Heung Museum of Food Culture sit within its bounds. The district's many hilltop viewpoints, country parks, and waterfront spaces make it a destination for walking and outdoor recreation.
