You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sha Tin New Town''', or known as '''Sha Tin-Ma On Shan New Town''' or '''Sha Tin Town''' is one of the [[satellite town]]s and [[New towns of Hong Kong|new town]]s of Hong Kong. It is within the [[Sha Tin District]], the [[New Territories]]. The New Town covers the neighbourhoods such as [[Sha Tin]], [[Tai Wai]], [[Fo Tan]], [[Tai Shui Hang]], [[Ma On Shan (town)|Ma On Shan]]. The [[Shing Mun River]] runs through the middle of the town.

==Development history==
Development was started in the 1970s, and currently covers an area of 35.87 square kilometres((citation needed|date=December 2012)) with total developed area of about ((convert|2000|hectare)).<ref name=CEDD/> As of 2004, it has a population of around 640,000 people.<ref name=CEDD>((cite web|publisher=Civil Engineering and Development Department|url=http://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/about/achievements/regional/regi_shatin.htm|title=Sha Tin New Town|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20041112024252/http://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/about/achievements/regional/regi_shatin.htm |archivedate=2004-11-12 |access-date=2013-04-21|date=1 July 2004))</ref> The town centre houses a mall, [[New Town Plaza]], the [[Sha Tin Public Library]], [[Sha Tin Town Hall]], and other community facilities.

==Transport==
((more citations needed section|date=February 2021))

===Highways, roads and tunnels===
The road transport between Shatin and Kowloon relies on the [[Lion Rock Tunnel]] (completed in 1967), [[Tate's Cairn Tunnel]] (completed in 1988), [[Shing Mun Tunnel]], and [[Tai Po Road]]. The [[Tolo Highway]] was opened in September 1985. It connects Sha Tin Road and Tai Po Road, forming a connection system between the New Town and [[Tai Po New Town]]. [[Tate's Cairn Highway]] also connects Ma On Shan with Tolo Highway. The opening of [[Sai Sha Road]] in October 1988 provided a connection between Sha Tin and [[Sai Kung Town|Sai Kung]]. The T3 Highway ([[Tsing Sha Highway]]) and Route No. 8 (Cheung Sha Wan to Sha Tin section) was completed in March 2008.

===Public transport===
The New Town has numerous bus routes connecting to the city centre and metro station from various populated zone in the Town. Beside bus services, minibus services are provided as well for residential areas with fewer people.

===KCR (now East Rail line, MTR)===
[[Kowloon–Canton Railway|KCR]], since merged with the former [[MTR]], was essential to the development of new town. There are five [[East Rail line]] stations within the new town, namely Tai Wai, Sha Tin, Fo Tan, Racecourse and University ([[Chinese University of Hong Kong|Chinese University]]). Part of the [[Tuen Ma line]] also lies within the district, which connects Hin Keng (situated at the southwestern part of Tai Wai) and Wu Kai Sha of Ma On Shan (situated at the northeastern part of Lee On Estate). Passengers can transfer to East Rail line at [[Tai Wai station]].

==Urban planning==
Despite Sha Tin New Town including Ma On Shan,<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/publications/fact-sheets/hong-kong-fact-sheets/index.html|title=New Towns, New Development Areas and Urban Developments|date=29 December 2020|accessdate=2 February 2021|publisher=Civil Engineering and Development Department|location=Hong Kong))</ref> and the town itself is sometimes known as Sha Tin-Ma On Shan, Ma On Shan town has its own urban planning plan or Outline Zoning Plan (OZP), the "Ma On Shan Outline Zoning Plan". The plan was amended most recently in 2020.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202010/16/P2020101600268.htm|title=Approved Ma On Shan Outline Zoning Plan amended|date=16 October 2020|accessdate=7 February 2021|publisher=Hong Kong Government))</ref> Neighbourhoods such as Sha Tin, [[Tai Wai]], [[Fo Tan]] are included in the "Sha Tin Outline Zoning Plan".<ref>((cite web |url=https://www1.ozp.tpb.gov.hk/ |title = Statutory Planning Portal 2 (SPK)))</ref>

The [[Hong Kong Science Park|Science Park]]-[[Pak Shek Kok]] development, also located in Sha Tin New Town, has its own OZP too, but part of the area of that development is included in [[Tai Po District]].
