Visitors here do not need to make an appointment, you can visit with a pass or passport. There are pictures and audio-visual images showing the events of the Hong Kong police in the past, and it is another place to learn about Hong Kong's history. The Hong Kong government is now working with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to restore it as a tourist attraction, free of charge for the public and tourists. It has a court, police station and prison complex.

    Walking around Central, came to Victoria Prison. I think this Hong Kong translation is really strange, the same English, some translated into Victoria, some into Victoria. This large red brick building, now wrapped up, can only see through a few corners of the look of the year, the wall is quite thick, after all, it is a prison! Soon after, because it should be a new look, I don't know what it will be used for.

    The Victoria Prison is the first prison in Hong Kong built with granite and red masonry. It has been more than 100 years since the home was built, so it is not difficult to find historical traces on the exterior wall. The Victoria Prison has no longer been used for prison purposes, and it has become a part of the main building for tourism and education purposes. Victoria Prison B warehouse is a historical story space (Victoria's iron window career), and you can see the bad situation of the warehouse at that time, and there is a different exhibition board to introduce the life of the prisoners at that time. The most impressive system will have technology to repeat the operation of torture footage. The warehouse space is narrow and needs to control the flow of visitors. I am lucky not to queue on weekdays. If the holiday may have to strategically allocate the visit time.

    Victoria Prison (formerly known as Central Prison [1]:15) is the first prison in Hong Kong, located at 16 Oberley Street, Central Island, Hong Kong Island. It was listed as a statutory monument in Hong Kong in 1995, forming the Central Police Station complex with the old Central Police Station and the former Hong Kong Central Magistrates' Office. After the completion of service in 2006, the Victoria Prison, including the Victoria Prison, was renovated as a tourist museum.
