New Town Plaza
新城市廣場
This is a huge shopping complex in Sha Tin which sells mid-range goods of all types. Well worth a visit but it will be crowded on weekends. Accessible through the Shatin MTR station, change at Kowloon Tong or Hung Hom station if travelling from Kowloon and Admiralty station if travelling from Hong Kong island. It also connects with a few nearby but smaller shopping malls via the footbridge networks.

10,000 Buddhas Monastery
萬佛寺
This rather garish but enjoyable modern temple dating from the 1950s in fact contains no less than 12,800 Buddhas lining the walls of the main hall. There's also a nine-story pagoda and some smaller temples above the main complex. Half the fun is getting there, the 500-metre path that climbs up the hill is lined with life-sized golden plastic statues of Buddhas in poses ranging from serene to outrageous. A point of mortal interest is the embalmed body of the Monatery's founder the Venerable Yuet Kai, which is exhibited in the main temple hall.
