Geocache Description:


Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, the Old Marine Police Headquarters have been rejuvenated and re-integrated into the urban fabric of the surrounding area. The Old Marine Police Headquarters were occupied by the Hong Kong Marine Police from 1880’s to 1996, except for the period during the Japanese occupation in WWII.

The site comprises the Main Building, Stable Block, Time Ball Tower, Fire Station and Fire Station Accommodation Block. The rich colonial characteristic of the Old Marine Police Headquarters is reflected in the Victorian architecture of the buildings on site.

In recognition of such historical significance, all the buildings on the site – except for Main Block of the Old Kowloon Fire station – were declared monuments under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance in 1994.

The cache is located in the open area of a heritage site, GZ may suffer from spotty GPS signal caused by nearby towers.

Opening Hours: 09:00 - 22:00

Beware of the muggle staffs here! Please return the cache to original position after retrieving
