1881 Heritage
A colonial-style complex converted from the former Marine Police Headquarters, now home to boutique shopping and a hotel, and a popular photo spot in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The former Marine Police Headquarters was built between 1881 and 1884 and is one of the oldest surviving government buildings in Hong Kong. The complex includes the main building, stables, a time ball tower, and fire station quarters. Converted into a shopping centre and hotel in 2009, it retains its Victorian arcades, old trees, and lawns, and houses a small exhibition on the history of the Marine Police. The square and staircases are popular spots for wedding photos and festive lighting displays. Admission is free. Located at the junction of Canton Road and Salisbury Road, it is about a five-minute walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.
