Time Out says

Head back in time with a visit to the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station. The Neoclassical building is a prime example of Edwardian and Victorian style architecture in Hong Kong. Built in 1922, the three-storey structure is uniquely V-shaped where the main entrance is set in an indented corner. While the station officially closed in 2016 – with a new station on Yau Cheung Road – a slice of old Hong Kong remains and the grey-blue brick walls make for a great photoshoot background.

Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey

The golden age of Hong Kong cinema saw the production of blockbuster titles like A Better Tomorrow (1986), The Conman (1998), and Infernal Affairs (2002). Packed with action, suspense, and good ol’ “nonsense” humour, these iconic crime films not only offer gripping stories but also capture the essence of life in 70s and 80s Hong Kong. Now, cinephiles can relive their favourite scenes from these classics at the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station. ‘Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey’ delves into local cop film classics through reconstructed sets, collectibles, original scripts, and much more.  This nostalgic exhibition is now open at the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, 627 Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei. Tickets are priced at $30 per person, with concessionary tickets available at $10 per person. Children aged six or below can enter the exhibition for free. Make sure to book your tickets online at cultural.cityline.com, as there will not be tickets onsite. Find out more at fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk.
