Ceremony was hold on 6 January, 2017. Jury from UNESCO praised that “the
transformation of the Old Tai Po Police Station from a deserted relic into a
vibrant venue for learning about sustainable development. It is notable for revealing
layers of cultural history embedded in its buildings while maintaining the

property in the New Territories, the center provides an oasis in the midst of
Hong Kong’s highly urbanised environment.”
