When & Where: Tai Kwun – Opens daily | Central Blue House – Opens daily except Wed | Wan Chai Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station – Opens daily | Yau Ma Tei
Exploring Hong Kong’s colonial heritage through its iconic historic sites offers a deeply enriching complement to your time in the city. Here are three carefully selected landmarks:
In Central, Tai Kwun breathes new energy into the old Central Police Station, Magistracy, and Victoria Prison. Now a lively cultural hub of restored colonial architecture and contemporary art, the historical site blends colonial architecture with modern art spaces.
The Blue House in Wan Chai is a Grade I-listed 1920s tong lau* with striking blue balconies. Once served as a hospital and temple, it still serves its original purpose as residential units and hums with community life today.
In Kowloon, the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, a striking Edwardian building built in 1922, stands as one of the city’s few surviving pre-war police stations. For a deeper dive, step inside for the exhibition Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey, where film clips and archives reveal its starring role in Hong Kong cinema.
These buildings showcase harmonious cultural dialogue, mirroring the unique East-West synthesis in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. A thoughtful side trip for anyone at HKIJS looking for a bit of historical depth and fresh inspiration.
*Tong lau: (唐樓, literally ‘Chinese building’) is a traditional type of shophouse building commonly found in Hong Kong from the late 19th century to the 1960s. Tong lau represents everyday urban life in old Hong Kong and can still be found to date in older districts like Wan Chai, Sheung Wan, and Yau Ma Tei.
Savour the Brew: Exploring Wan Chai’s Coffee Neighbourhood

This proximity makes it effortless to slip away for a quick break during the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show: a short stroll brings you to countless spots offering expertly crafted brews, from bold espressos to creamy lattes and inventive seasonal specials.
