As one of the tourism hotspots planned by the Government’s Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots set up in 2024 to develop tourist hotspots in Hong Kong, CCIDA has specially invited Hong Kong film professionals to creatively stage the film-related exhibition Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey in part of the ground floor of the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station. It blends the historic architecture with Hong Kong’s classic police and crime film culture. Visitors and tourists can experience the creative power of local filmmakers at this real-life police station. This is the first film-related exhibition to be held inside a real police station. It aims to promote film tourism and local film culture, as well as to showcase the talent and creativity of local filmmakers.
The Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, a Grade 2 historic building, is an Edwardian‑style building and one of the few remaining pre‑war police stations in Hong Kong. The main design of this exhibition is a film set of “C.I.D. Room” of the 1970s and 1980s. In addition, the detention cells are open to the public. The exhibition allows visitors to immerse themselves in a film set, and experience a realistic film-shooting environment in a police station.
