If you're looking to come down to fashion earth after the designer heaven that is Central, Sha Tin's New Town Plaza is a great bet. Decidedly off the tourist trail, the New Territories' best mall has more than 350 midrange shops and restaurants anchored by Marks & Spencer and Japanese department store Seibu. The usual local suspects abound, but lesser known local brands like Lu Lu Cheung and Pedder Red also have stores. International names like Miss Sixty, French Connection, and Kookai make up the pickings. A huge multiplex cinema draws crowds on weekends. New Town Plaza is also home to two of Hong Kong's kitscher attractions: a musical fountain and Snoopy World, celebrating Schultz's hound. The mall is connected to several other smaller malls and a hotel via a series of walkways and is adjacent to the Sha Tin KCR station.
