“For those interested in Hong Kong\u2019s colonial history, you can easily spend an hour or more here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“A beautiful place with heritage , colonial structures and modern shopping experience.\u00a0The old police station has converted in to a food, shopping and museum.\u00a0It\u2019s super.”<\/p>\n
“This is a \u2018don\u2019t miss\u2019 location, right in central Hong Kong. Highlights include: Central Magistracy \u2013 visit the reconstructed the colonial courtroom, with video dramatisations of early cases (free entry).\u00a0Victoria Gaol (1841) \u2013 wander through the old, spartan prison cells as they were. The harsh times are captured in interactive screens and there are a lot of information panels.”<\/p>\n
“They have done an excellent job of retaining the historic details of the old prison and it is possible to visit some of the cells to see what things were like in the times when this was a prison.”<\/p>\n
“I had read about a converted prison and was interested. This is much more though. It has many buildings all which have been restored and are now shops, art galaxies, museum’s or restaurants. The prison is the highlight and has moving projected black images onto the prison cell walls telling a story of how life was.”<\/p>\n
“The compound is very extensive with 16 heritage buildings as well as 2 contemporary buildings. We concluded that a visitor could easily devote at least half a day, perhaps even a full day, to take in everything on offer … A noted feature upstairs in the Central Magistracy is a reconstructed Court Room and here we could experience a dramatisation of one of the very first cases being tried in this place. It was very well put together and gave us good insight into how justice was administered on the residents of the colony so long ago. After the dramatisation we were invited to take photos of ourselves at the reconstructed Magistrate\u2019s Desk – A chance to be a ‘magistrate for a moment’.\u00a0At the prison hall we gained insight into the harsh conditions of prisoners serving a sentence here. One of the Prison\u2019s most famous \u201cresidents\u201d, possible confined to Hall B, was the former Vietnamese leader Ho Chi-Minh … After our short visit, we concluded that Tai Kwun is worth including in a Traveller\u2019s Hong Kong Island itinerary, if nothing else but to gain better insight into the fascinating history of the legal, judiciary and penal system in Hong Kong.”<\/p>\n
“We took the guided tour which only lasted 45 mins but was really enjoyable … We spent a bit more time wandering about on our own but I know I\u2019ve not seen or read all there is. A return trip for sure.”<\/p>\n
“Stumbled across this whilst taking a trip up the Central-mid-level escalators and still can\u2019t work out why this isn\u2019t on the \u2018must see\u2019 lists when searching for Hong Kong\u2019s top ten!”<\/p>\n
“Tai Kwun is actually the restored Victoria Prison Complex. It has wonderful exhibits showcasing the history of the prison including its time during Japanese occupation and then later years leading up to the transfer of Hong Kong from the UK to China … Exhibits are awesome.”<\/p>\n
“This was a great museum, well organized and easily accessible.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
