Sha Tin Wai (Chinese: 沙田圍) is a station on the Ma On Shan Line in Sha Tin, Hong Kong. The name "Sha Tin Wai" comes from the village called Sha Tin Wai, which is located to the northeast of the station. It was provisionally called "Sha Kok Street" before the Ma On Shan Line opened, because it is located at Sha Kok Street.
It serves residents living in Pok Hong Estate, Sha Kok Estate, Jat Min Chuen, Yue Shing Court, and also serves over 10 schools around the area, including kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools, such as Po Leung Kuk Chee Jing Yin Primary School, The Church of Christ in China Kei Kok Primary School, and Immaculate Heart of Mary College.
The pattern featured on the platform pillar and glass barrier is a shot of Tsang Tai Uk traditional walled settlement.
Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform.
There are four exits to Sha Tin Wai Station.
There is a bus stop outside Exit A and C.
There are two bus stops outside Exit D as well; one of them is located directly in front of the exit, and the other one is located almost at the intersection of Yat Tai Street and Shui Chuen Au Street.
