Sha Tin District, Administrative district in the New Territories, Hong Kong.

Sha Tin District spans 69.4 square kilometers along the Shing Mun River, featuring residential zones, industrial areas, and natural landscapes with mountain ranges.

The district connects to central Hong Kong through fourteen MTR stations across two lines, multiple bus routes, and major highway networks.

The Sha Tin Racecourse, with its 85,000 capacity, contains Penfold Park within its center, creating a green space inside the racing track.
