Sha Tin was formerly a market town at the present location of Sha Tin Centre Street and New Town Plaza shopping centre, near the Sha Tin Station of the MTR East Rail Line. In present-day usage, "Sha Tin" may refer to the area around the original location of the market town, the market town and its environs, Sha Tin New Town (excluding the Ma On Shan extension), or Sha Tin District.
Sha Tin was formerly agricultural farmland, and its most famous product was Sha Tin Pomelo. Before Sha Tin's development into a new town, Hung Mui Kuk in southwestern Sha Tin was perennially the main site for school picnics. The valley remains a popular barbecue site.
Sha Tin was the location of the first flight of a powered aircraft in Hong Kong. The aeroplane was named as the Spirit of Sha Tin. A full size replica of this plane now hangs in Hong Kong International Airport.
