Opened in February 1992, the shopping centre is located adjacent to Lam Tin station of Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway (MTR).
Several Chinese tea restaurants are located near the public apartments in Lam Tin, and private estates are situated near Sceneway Plaza, resulting in a large number of dining establishments that range from cantonese restaurants to McDonald's.
They had been monitored by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, but their low prices attracted a large number of students who tended to litter Sceneway Plaza with packaging materials, causing environmental problems.
Sceneway Plaza shops include the PARKnSHOP supermarket on the fourth floor.
Sceneway Plaza's main public transport is MTR and buses that pass the Eastern Harbour Crossing to most places in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
