Introduction

Over the mountains there’s another Hong Kong: one where cacophonous streets are replaced by the quiet whir of bicycles, where concrete gives way to lush greenery. Welcome to Sha Tin, which lies on the other side of Lion Rock from the congested urban areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.

Sha Tin was once a rural backwater of fishing and farming settlements, but it was transformed into a suburban New Town in the 70s. Today, it is Hong Kong’s most populous district,but it still retains the flavour of the countryside, with historic walled villages, lush hills and a string of green spaces along the Shing Mun River.

No. 40 Sheung Wo Che Tsuen is a newly built two-storey property with 21 suites single room, with large of public space for tenants to use. In addition, the building has wireless Internet access, 24-hour security system, and each room has its own water and electricity meter.

The management staff here are nice and responsive whenever needed; I had a great time here mainly because it is a good location just next to the transportation hub of Shatin and it is pretty easy for me to seek a replacer to take over my agreement when I needed to head home earlier than expected. Overall it is a wonderful experience!

I feel lucky to be here in Harmony Villa for a year. I had a wonderful time with my neighbours here as we made our meals together, studied overnight together and had fun fooling around at New Town Plaza, all these are my best memories here:)

The location is quiet and convenient; the buddies on my floor are very nice and we got along. The room is clean with brand new facilities and the washroom setting is reasonable; servicing staff here are responsive. Overall it is great here!

Thanks to Harmony Villa, my year in Hong Kong has been wonderful. The place is pretty close to the supermarket and shopping mall, and it is easy to shop for daily necessities; the neighbourhood is peaceful and I got good night sleeps; and the place is totally well maintained and there is nothing that worry me. I just don't know what would happen if I had chosen elsewhere to stay during my year in Hong Kong, glad that I picked Harmony Villa.

The place is close to the MTR and sportsground at Shatin with great vibe and facilities. The property management system is easy to work with. I love the rooftop here which we could dry our clothes and exercise a bit with nice sunlights and it is pretty rare in Hong Kong. It would be actually perfect if there is more frequent cleaning service of the common area and less night gatherings of other residents in the village.

The place here is quite roomy at a quiet location with all the greenery around; and it is also a convenient location with diners around. And I like my room with separate bath and shower.
