Fo Tan is an area located within the Sha Tin District of the New Territories in Hong Kong. It serves as a mixed-use locality characterized by its geographical position between residential zones and industrial sites.
The area was originally developed primarily for light industrial activity, though this type of commerce has seen a significant decline in recent years. To the east, Fo Tan features residential areas situated alongside the MTR line, while the terrain to the west extends into the foothills.
