Around Shatin
LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
A few of our favourite spots within easy reach of the hotel and the finish line.
Culture
Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
A hillside climb past hundreds of golden Buddha statues to a quiet temple complex with sweeping views over Shatin. A worthy leg-loosener the day before — or a gentle reward after.
Culture
Che Kung Temple
Spin the bronze pinwheel of fortune at this atmospheric Shatin temple dedicated to the Sung-dynasty general Che Kung. Steps from Che Kung Temple Station and free to enter.
Do
Sha Tin Racecourse
One of the world's great racecourses, ringed by mountains and high-rises. Check the Jockey Club fixture list — a race night here is pure Hong Kong spectacle.
Eat
Shing Kee Noodles
Retro charm and bold local flavours in Lek Yuen Estate. Fish-dumpling noodles by day, buzzing hotpot by night. A short walk from Shatin Station — easy, comforting fuel.
Eat
Lung Wah Hotel
A nostalgic gem in the hills above Shatin, famous for its roast pigeon since the 1930s. Vintage décor, garden seating, and a real taste of old Hong Kong.
