Snoopy’s World at New Town Plaza III in Hong Kong

Snoopy's World at New Town Plaza III in Hong Kong.

On my last day in Hong Kong, I walked around at New Town Plaza III (above Sha Tin MTR Station) where they have a Snoopy’s World on their rooftop garden area.

Yup that’s Charlie Brown and he seems to be performing a welcoming a tap dance for visitors!

A nice outer ’shell’ of a yellow school bus is on display there.  Visitors can climb aboard to explore its spacious inside.

Charlie and his companions posing beside the yellow school bus.  Can anyone remember the names of his 2 companions?

There is a boat ride for visitors, or rather shoppers who had spent a certain amount at the plaza.

Haha, this structure and clock tower represents their school!

Some more attractions are still “work-in-progress”.  Nevertheless, the artwork on the boards are very nice!  I think the black haired girl is Lucy.  I can’t recall the names of the blond girl (is she Sally?) and the boy with his beloved blue blanket.  Can you remember them?

I think the little yellow bird is Woodstock.

And the whole gang chases or follows Woodstock and Snoopy to who knows where, LOL!

The ‘bony’ benches there look so cute!

Here are some more friends of Charlie Brown.  I really cannot recall who they all are, other than Snoopy.  It has been more than 15 years since I last saw the cartoon series, and I rarely even look at the comic strips in the newspapers.

And here we have the ’Peanuts’ gang, who are still going strong since their debut in 1950!  I think their creator is no longer around, but his legacy lives on in his unforgettable pop culture creations!

    Hi LEon,

    It’s a very small place but with many huge structures and statues. Still worth visiting, but when the weather’s much cooler. It was very hot and dry, and I felt my skin baking in the scorching summer sunshine :P

    Hi desmond,

    I saw this place being advertised in their tourist brochure that I took from a local tour agency when I booked this tour package at their office. I was surprised to learn of it too. I think it’s rather low profile. By the way, admission is FREE! :D
