Fo Tan

Fo Tan (Chinese: 火炭; Cantonese Yale: Fótaan) is an area of Sha Tin District, New Territories, Hong Kong.

It was developed as a light industrial area, but this activity has declined markedly in recent years.

Nearby to the east is Sha Tin Racecourse while across the Shing Mun River is City One Shatin.

Guided walks lead visitors to these normally private working studios, which encompass a wide range of media and styles such as ceramic and floral design.

[1] [2] Fo Tan was chosen for artist spaces because the ceilings of the buildings are high and because it is in the middle of the New Territories.
