Yau Ma Tei Police Station, Grade II historic police station in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong

Yau Ma Tei Police Station is a three-storey light grey building with a flat roofline and a projecting central bay, its ground floor pierced by arched openings above dark painted base sections. A recessed entrance sits under a flat canopy, and a flagpole with a red flag rises from the central bay. Vertical black Chinese characters are mounted on the right side of the bay, while a corner sign reads "YAU MA TEI POLICE STATION" above Chinese characters.

Built in 1922 at 627 Canton Road, the station served the neighborhood for over nine decades as an active police post. Its relocation to facilities on Yau Cheung Road in 2016 ended nearly a century of continuous operations at the original site.

The building blends Western architecture with local beliefs, visible in its corner entrance and permanently closed side gate that reflect feng shui principles. These design choices show how such spiritual considerations shaped structures in Hong Kong.

The station stands at 627 Canton Road, at the corner of Public Square Street, a short walk from Yau Ma Tei MTR station Exit C. The main entrance is the semi-circular portico set into the indented corner. The side gate on Public Square Street has been locked since at least the late 1970s and is not an entrance.

The side gate on Public Square Street has been locked since at least the late 1970s, as opening it was considered unlucky after several shooting incidents involving officers who left through it. A small shrine in one corner of the compound is meant to counter bad feng shui believed to come from the adjacent Gascoigne Road Flyover.
