New Town Plaza (Chinese: 新城市廣場; pinyin: Xīn Chéngshì Guǎngchǎng ) is a shopping mall in the town centre of Sha Tin in Hong Kong, China. Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties, it was the biggest shopping mall in the New Territories of Hong Kong when it was completed in the early 1980s. Covering 200,000 square metres, the plaza comprises Phase 1 (the main mall), Phase 3, which are connected to each other, and Grand Central Plaza (新城市中央廣場), which is less than 1 kilometre from Phase 1. Currently under much renovation, the nine-storey main mall is right next to Sha Tin KCR Station and Citylink Plaza.

[edit] Music Fountain
When New Town Plaza Phase 1 first opened, there was an oval-shaped music fountain at the centre of Level 3, which was a landmark of the shopping mall. The fountain was the largest one in Asia at the time it was opened. The fountain was demolished in August, 2004; but it was rebuilt in the roof garden of Level 7 in May, 2005, and opened in November the same year.
