[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Fanling Magistrates' Courts (Updated Apr)

The former New Territories Tribunal in Fanling has now become a historic building and is open to the public. The original detention room, judge's room and payment office are retained inside. This is the actual filming scene of the hit movie The Attorney at the beginning of the year. The interior retains the original decoration style and some facilities and furniture of a real court. Although it is old, it still retains its dignity. A building next to it has been converted into a hotel and can be rented for a staycation. Another great weekend getaway. #LocalTours #HongKongGoodDestinations #FamilyDestinations

With the popularity of the movie, citizens have come to know the old magistrates’ office in Fanling. I was fortunate to visit it and happened to be able to enter both courts, which was a great surprise. In addition to the sense of age, the building also has different illustrations on the walls, and cartoon figures as road signs, allowing citizens to feel lively and relaxed in this serious atmosphere. Ordinary citizens rarely visit the court, so this was a rare experience.

Strolling by the Former Fanling Magistracy 🏛, a colleague and I were enticed to try the coffee shop within the old courthouse grounds, “Cohee”. It looked modern, bright and fresh, with large windows and umbrella tables outside. As it was a mild autumn 🍃🍂🍁 lunch-time, we opted for sitting outside and enjoyed the fresh air and friendly table service. 📋 I had eaten earlier, so chose a latte ☕️ and we shared a dessert (apple tart 🍏 with creamy choc-chip icecream). All excellent. ✅ Afterwards, we took a free and brief self-guided tour of the old courthouse ⚖️, 302 Jockey Club Road, Fanling, Hong Kong. It’s just a short walk from the Fanling MTR station. 🚆 Approx. 70hkd/person. 🧧 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for good coffee and desserts in a relaxed atmosphere with some New Territories history nearby. #fanling #new territories #cafe #dessert #courthouse

When traveling to Fanling, you can visit the former "New Territories Magistrate's Office" (former Fanling Magistrate's Court)😚 Courts are often covered with a solemn and sacred veil by the professionalism of the law. 😉 Our impressions of courts tend to come from movies and TV series. The former Fanling Magistrates' Court has been revitalized and converted into the Hong Kong Youth Association Leaders' College, and is open to the public to visit the original appearance of the old monuments. If you can go, it's not not not to go🤪 🥰White British style building, connected by grassland, surrounded by green trees, a good atmosphere, quiet and comfortable.

This time I can experience the feeling of the court session from a different perspective. 😝 Magistrate corridor open design, facing the garden, beautiful environment. At the same time, the corridor is composed of snow-white exterior walls and iron frames, which is extra classical and elegant, highlighting the solemn and sacred feeling of the courthouse.

The former Fanling Magistrates' Courts was opened in 1961 and was the first magistrates' court in the New Territories. In 2002, as the court's facilities were insufficient to meet the needs of current court operations, the government relocated the court to a new court building nearby and the old court has been vacant since then. The construction of the court building witnessed the development of Hong Kong's judicial system and has a certain historical value. It was listed as a Grade 3 historic building in Hong Kong by the Antiquities and Monuments Office in 2010. In 2012, the "Revitalization" plan was adopted to retain many original architectural details and it was transformed into the Hong Kong Youth Association Leadership Academy. It officially opened on March 31, 2019. Building Characteristics The Former Fanling Magistrates’ Courts Building is a typical government building from the 1950s. It is relatively small in scale, with only two storeys high and two courtrooms inside. The front facade mainly features slightly outward-extending double-layer canopies and multi-storey high narrow windows, showing a simplified neoclassical architectural style, highlighting the solemn nature of the court. The side exterior walls also have door frames and corbels with neoclassical architectural features. When designing the former Fanling Magistrates' Courts, the architects had carefully designed three independent passages, one for the magistrate, the public, the police and the defendant; the entrances were located in three different locations. The intersection of the three independent passages is inside the courtroom, which ensures that the magistrate will not be disturbed by the public or the defendant before the trial. In addition to seeing the buildings of the former Fanling Magistrates’ Courts that have been preserved after revitalization, you can also learn about the development of Hong Kong’s judicial system from the information on display! Tour route: Prison van parking area > Escort passage and detention room > Courtroom No. 2 (maintaining the original appearance of the courtroom) > Former magistrate's corridor > Former magistrate's office > Entrance of Courtroom No. 1 (not open to the public) > Revitalized payment counter (nursery corridor) Personally, I think this is also the most beautiful place in the entire court building. It feels like you can travel back to the 1950s through this semi-open-air corridor! The composition of taking photos by the window is also beautiful!

#springplace2024 The former Fanling Magistracy is located at 302 Jockey Club Road, Fanling, New Territories. The main building was built in 1960. In 2002, as the court facilities were insufficient to meet the needs of today's court operations, the government moved the court to a new court building nearby and the old court has been vacant since then. In 2009, the court was included in the second phase of the revitalization plan by the Development Bureau, inviting social enterprises to use the court building. The construction of the Court Building witnessed the development of Hong Kong’s judicial system and has a certain historical value. In 2010, it was listed as a Grade 3 historic building in Hong Kong by the Antiquities and Monuments Office[1]. It was later revitalized into the "Hong Kong Youth Association Leadership Academy" and officially opened on March 31, 2019[2]. The former Fanling Magistrates' Courts Building is a typical government building from the 1950s. The architectural style is very similar to the North Kowloon Magistrates' Courts in Sham Shui Po, which was built in the same year. But in comparison, the Fanling Court building is smaller, with only two floors and only two courtrooms inside. The main facade features slightly outward-extending double-layer canopies and multi-story narrow windows, showing a simplified neoclassical architectural style, highlighting the solemn nature of the court. The side exterior walls also have door frames and corbels with neoclassical architectural features. Inside, the building's atrium lobby features a central patio to bring in natural light and is flanked by a staircase with decorative iron handrails that leads from the ground floor doors to the upper courtrooms. The court used relatively economical decoration materials at that time, such as mosaic tiles, artificial stone tiles, terrazzo tiles, paint, etc. The court has several entrances, with judges, prisoners and the public using different entrances inside the court, reflecting Hong Kong's emphasis on judicial independence.

The former Fanling Magistrates' Courts, which opened in 1961 and was also the first magistrates' court in the New Territories, underwent a "revitalisation" programme in 2012, retaining many of its original architectural details and transforming it for other uses. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

#WinHongKongTicket Want to go to Hong Kong to eat dim sum, take Ding Ding, and go shopping in Central We visited this attraction by chance while taking a minibus. Fanling Magistrates' Courts was the former judicial centre in the New Territories and has now been revitalised into a youth activity centre. However, the building still retains some of the original sites of the former magistrates' courts, such as the prison van drop-off area, the magistrates' court, the guard room and the cashier's office, etc. It is a tourist attraction that you can visit if you pass by, but it is not worth a special trip.

The former Fanling Magistrates’ Courts has been revitalized into the Hong Kong Youth Association Leadership College. It is a neoclassical architectural style and is now a Grade 3 historic building. In addition to providing leadership courses for young people, visitors can visit the former Court No. 2 for free, where they can sit in the judge's chair and feel the majesty of being a judge. This court is also the location for Hong Kong film productions. Visitors can also learn more about the former court through the QR code inside the venue.

This time I came to Fanling to check out this historical building in Hong Kong: the former Fanling Magistrates' Courts. As the main building of the Fanling Magistrates' Courts, it is now the Hong Kong Youth Association Leadership College. The building was built in 1961 with a construction area of ​​approximately 3,000 square meters. It is a Grade 3 historical building in Hong Kong and the first municipal building in the New Territories. It is also a witness to the development of Hong Kong's judicial system. The building represents two core values: dignity and integrity. The renovated and restored Leadership Academy also reflects these values. The former Court No. 1 has now been converted into a digital conference hall, equipped with electronic voting and simultaneous interpretation systems, for young people to discuss policies, debate and practice public speaking; Court No. 2 retains its original appearance, such as the magistrate's seat, prisoners' dock, public gallery, press gallery, etc., and can be used for mock court training. Three of the four detention cells were converted into multi-purpose activity rooms, while the remaining one remained in its original state. In addition, the building has been installed with new cutting-edge technology equipment, making it a unique legal, historical and cultural landmark in the North District of Hong Kong. It is open to tourists for free and is worth a visit.

It rains a lot in summer, and the air is filled with a damp smell and a hint of stuffiness⛱. That day, my boyfriend and I went to Fanling to look for lost relics🛕 Start from Exit C of Fanling MTR Station, cross the overpass, and walk for about 5 minutes. I picked up the navigation on my phone and found that I had arrived at my destination. 🚪The gate is not conspicuous, the building is about 2 stories high, standing quietly not far away🏙. It seems as if I have never waited for anyone to discover me nor expected anyone to come in😌. Maybe only occasionally some residents passing by would come in and take a look out of curiosity. Even though it is the weekend, it is still quiet. After walking through the gate and scanning the LeaveHomeSafe app, two staff members welcomed us in for a visit☺️ After entering, you will come to a lawn⛳️, in the middle of which is a swing made of an uneven wooden board🪵. It looks like it was made from local materials and should be quite old. Go further and you will see the grass covered with electronic lights💡. It should be very romantic when the lights are turned on at night💕 After turning a corner, you can see the entrance of the building. The decoration inside should have been renovated and it looks quite new 🏫. The first floor is a small courtroom with wooden floors and tables and chairs, which is exactly the same as the layout seen in TV dramas. Although more than 600 years have passed, it still seems to have retained the solemnity and seriousness of a court. In the past, some minor criminal cases of Fanling villagers were usually heard here. Each area corresponds to someone's seat. For example, the audience seats, the judge's seats, the clerk's seats, the defendant's seats, the lawyer's seats, the defendant's seat and so on. Sitting on the judge's bench 👩‍⚖️, with a gold-plated seat sign in front of me, I can really satisfy my judge addiction 😄🥰 #Hong Kong good places #Historical buildings #Dating good places

👉🏻Please watch the previous episode for details Going up one floor further, there is a half-open door. Pushing it open gently, you will see the office area of ​​the judge or other court staff at that time. It just looks empty because the tables and chairs have been moved away. Walking outside, there is a semi-open-air corridor connecting all the rooms. Such terrace designs are rare nowadays. There are many passages here to facilitate the travel of passers-by of different identities. For example, defendants, lawyers, judges, and family members can all go to the court through different passages to represent the fairness and justice of the law. The bottom floor is the basement, and there is not enough light inside. Although it is already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you can only see everything inside by relying on the light. There are several detention rooms inside, and the space is quite spacious✅. The stairs at the end lead directly to the court upstairs where the defendant stands. So this is the design🛏, this is the first time I know about it🤔. But I think this arrangement is undoubtedly the most reasonable 👍It can effectively prevent them from being jailbroken or coming into contact with other people related to the case on the way to court👨🏼‍💻 Every blade of grass and every tree here is well preserved, and you can feel the style of its heyday. Although it has been discontinued, it is still a collective memory of the local villagers 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Although I don’t know how long the government will keep this place, I still hope that day will come slower and slower. Whenever we have a holiday☀️, he and I like to walk around. We like to walk through the streets and alleys to feel the lively atmosphere of life🌈, and we also like to go to such historical places to feel the old Hong Kong💫 and listen to Hong Kong stories. Now is an era of rapid development and change, we always want to leave something behind💦 Recommendation index ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Play time: 1 hour (The rusty object is an old safe) #Fanling good places #Hong Kong good places #Dating good places
