     The "Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey" exhibition is one of the major projects of the Government's Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots. It is also the second tourist attraction themed around Hong Kong films, following the "Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey" Movie Set Exhibition opened last year.

     Situated at 627 Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station is a Grade‑2 historic building. The exhibition showcases film sets reconstructed by Hong Kong film professionals, collectable items and original pieces, presenting the city's memories of the era portrayed in Hong Kong crime film classics, and allowing visitors to experience Hong Kong's film culture and the unique creativity of local filmmakers.

     To coincide with the exhibition and promote district tourism, the Yau Tsim Mong District Office has also launched the Yau Ma Tei Dining and Shopping Festival as well as a Mini Bazaar starting today. Visitors who have visited the exhibition may enjoy a wide range of special offers at participating merchants. The Mini Bazaar, which operates on weekends and public holidays in the initial phase (until March 1), is located opposite the main entrance of the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, and sells cultural and creative products as well as local traditional snacks.
