Places of Interest

Shunfu Mart

If you are a fan of good food, Shunfu Mart is not to be missed. With two storeys filled with stalls selling sumptious food, you are guarranteed a full stomach after visiting this place. 

Did you know?

Most of the store vendors worked in a place named 'Lakeview Market', but after it was demolished Shunfu Mart was built to provide these vendors with jobs.

Thomson Plaza

Attention all shopaholics! If you want to have a blast at shopping, Thomson Plaza is the place for you! With many appealing shops there, you will never want to leave! Also, it was renovated a few years ago.

It used to look like this.

The past Thomson Plaza was boring, as it had only one colour as its background. Now, it looks more attractive as colourful panels have been added.

 

Macritche Reservoir Park

Want to find the perfect place for exercise? Well, you do not need to panic. Macritchie Reservoir Park's flora and fauna will enchant you as you do so, and you can even attempt to walk to the HSBC treetop walk if you want to take on a challenge!

and after

The pavillion's roof colour has changed, and the flooring too. The zig zag bridge has also been removed, due to the wardens feeling worried about visitors feeding the tortises and fish from there.
