1881 Heritage

Few weeks ago, I went to Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon for shopping. It was a windy day and we decided to go back Hong Kong Island by ferry.

Before end of Canton Road, I'd been attracted by a new visitor hot spot, 1881 Heritage. Luckily, I brought my camera along. I am so glad that I am able to capture some pictures of this newly renovated building.

1881 Heritage is a former Marine Police Headquarters Compound. This building was constructed since year 1884. This building used to be occupied by Marine Police, however, the unit has been moved to Sai Wan Ho currently.

This building was declared as monument by Hong Kong government since 1994. This is one of the four oldest building in Hong Kong.

This building was redeveloped and renovated since year 2003. It has been transformed into a artistic, cultural and shopping landmark and renamed as '1881 Heritage'.

Round House (Time Ball Tower) remain and locate in front of the Main Building. This tower used to provide time signals to the ships in the harbour. The Time Ball Tower historic mission was ended after the time ball was moved to Signal Hill.

Round House is still open for visiting. I was so glad that I have chance to view the interior of the Round House.

There is a huge map that built on the center of the 1881 Heritage that included Hong Kong.
Thanks to the classic design building, 1881 Heritage has become one of the famous photo taking spot also. If you have chance to visit Hong Kong, this is a nice place to be included in your list.
