Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey
The Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station is a Grade II historic building at 627 Canton Road, built in 1922 in British Edwardian style — one of Hong Kong's few surviving pre-war police stations.
Since 2 January 2026 it has hosted A Cinematic Journey, a ticketed exhibition in which local film professionals reimagined part of the station as a set drawn from decades of classic Hong Kong police and crime films.
What to expect: a reimagined CID Office spanning four themed design eras, from 1980s/90s realism to the glass walls of Infernal Affairs and the high-tech look of Cold War.
