Now, the area has been redeveloped into a cultural, food and shopping area and become one of the famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. When you go there, you could learn a lot about the history of the building, how they slowly constructed more building to respond to the need to serve society, the justice system, even how the prisoners lived inside prison.
