New Town Plaza Hong Kong is a sprawling shopping complex in the New Territories’ Sha Tin district, about 650 metres northeast of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. It’s made up of 3 separate plazas – the main part of the mall centres on a 9-floor tower, which has a cinema, a rooftop garden, individual shops and restaurants.
The mall is popular among those with children in tow, as the 3rd floor is home to Snoopy World Hong Kong. This outdoor amusement park offers free rides and attractions scattered across 6 zones, most of which are suitable for young children below the age of 10.
