Central Police Station is a historical building with of Edwardian architecture (愛德華式建築) in Central, it built with cement and red brick.

It can be seen that the building was built during the colonial period (殖民地時期). There are stoas (拱廊) and pillars of Ancient Greek Architecture (古希臘式的大柱) in each floor.
The government shutdown the Central Police Station in 2005 and revitalised the building for leisure and business purpose. It is going to open for the public at the end of 2014.
After that, I went to see the graffiti that is famous in Central. Actually, it was drew on the wall next to the "Goods of Desire(住好D)" store in Hollywood Road. The column of rectangles are the flats that represents Hong Kong is overcrowded as many people are living there. This graffiti is well-known as many youngsters and photographers come and take photos.
