Don't just visit Yau Tsim Mong when you go to Hong Kong!

Everyone raves about Yau Tsim Mong, but little do they know the "suburbs" are the real gems! After multiple trips to Yau Tsim Mong and Hong Kong Island, I started exploring Hong Kong's "suburbs" and discovered they're truly treasures~ **Sha Tin Relaxing One-Day Itinerary:** Transport: Take the East Rail Line from Futian Port to Sha Tin (approx. 30min) Main Attractions: - **New Town Plaza**: Dining, shopping, and entertainment. The mall's layout is as maze-like as ever—exploring might take 3-5h. - **Sha Tin Town Hall & Sha Tin Public Library**: Right next to New Town Plaza. Stumbled upon these while looking for restrooms—pleasant surprises! - **Sha Tin Park**: Just a short walk through from the library. A peaceful riverside stroll awaits. - **Hong Kong Heritage Museum**: Surprisingly fantastic! (Personally, I prefer it over the Hong Kong Museum.) - A 10-15min walk from Sha Tin Park. No reservation needed—just walk in! - Opening Hours: Mon, Wed, Fri: 10am–6pm Sat, Sun, Public Holidays: 10am–7pm Last entry 30min before closing. Allow 2-3h to explore. - Features permanent (🆓) and special exhibitions (some may require tickets). - Highlights include the Louis Cha (Jin Yong) exhibition on the 1st floor, showcasing his manuscripts and vintage adaptations of his works. - The Bruce Lee exhibit is a must-see—rare growth footage, movie stills, and classic posters will transport you back in time. Highly recommended! - My biggest takeaway? A deep nostalgia for Hong Kong cinema's golden era. Other Suggestions: - If time allows, check out **Che Kung Temple** and **Tsang Tai Uk**. - Horse racing is on my bucket list—next time for sure! ~
