Yau Ma Tei - Part 2 - The east meets west within steps...

Walking south on Reclamation Street from the Fruit Market, towards People Square Street you will come across some more beautiful historical buildings, where the east meets west. If you head right on People Square Street, you will see a neoclassical building structure, and that's is the Yau Ma Tei police station.  If you head to your left, you will come across a public square known to the locals as "Yung Shue Tau" or the head of Banyan, and directly behind it is the Tin Hau temple.  The square and the temple is deemed as the heart of Yau Ma Tei. These historical complex and structures are definitely worth a quick visit!




The Yau Ma Tei police station was built in 1922, and it is classified as a Grade 2 historic building
