All months are suitable to photograph the Yau Ma Tei police station.

Visit mid-day or late-afternoon when the natural sunlight is shining through the columns.

Play around with light / shadows running through the columns.

By positioning yourself in the middle of the corridor you’ll be able to emphasize it’s patterns and leading lines.

Since it’s a police station you’ll only be able to take photos of the exterior. Although, it’s been closed since 2016 and only the reporting center is still open to the public.

There are a variety of interesting cultural spots in close proximity that are worth checking out: Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market, Tin Hau Temple as well as the famous Temple Street Night Market.

Right around the corner of the police station there’s a nice coffee shop and bookstore called Kubrick. It has a great artsy vibe and a good selection of coffee and books on display.

In the same building as Kubrik is Broadway Cinematheque which is popular for releasing art house and niche films suiting a wide spectrum of tastes!
