The Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, situated at 627 Canton Road, is a building in British Edwardian architectural style and a Grade‑2 historic building. The opening of the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station is one of the projects announced in May 2025 to be implemented by the Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots led by the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration. CCIDA has revitalised the ground floor of the historic building and infused it with Hong Kong's classic police and crime film culture to stage the "Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey" exhibition, promoting film tourism and local film culture.
To coincide with the "Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey" exhibition, the Yau Tsim Mong District Office, in collaboration with the Yaumati Kaifong Welfare Advancement Association Limited, will organise the Yau Ma Tei Dining and Shopping Festival from January 1 to February 22.
