1881 Heritage

The former Marine Police Headquarters Compound was built in 1884 which was renovated as hotel and shops in 1999. 














This restaurant was a stable.














The signal tower was responsible for providing time signals to ships.






















This signal mast served to offer typhoon information to ships.






















Gas lamp from 1865 is still at work.






















A huge art piece in 2011.





















I prefer the Tai O Heritage Hotel which is more humanistic for it involved the community so much. On the contrast, the 1881 Heritage just has become a home for luxury brands. And it's hard to find anything related to its history being Marine Police Headquarter.
